It is not possible as said before, but there are tricks to get close. Use Individual; Birth Date; Equal To; " " by bringing the cursor to the far left of the field. then on the second line AND for Death date. Switch to 'only use the Search list'. You may want to tag the group. Next the second part of your task, scroll through each of the people in your group (Using the big arrows called Find Previous/Next Icons, not the Back and frwd), and watch as you scroll through, watch the parents above the blue bar, (switching male/female). It will show year ranges for each sex and blank yerars will be obvious. If you want to tag only those missing all, use a different number. The choice <> 0 wouldn't work that way. You could use <> than 01/01/0001 instead, which would mess up the people in BC, or born before 1/1/2011. Rich in LA CA
