Hi John I think the answer you are after, is to search for one daughter (clear the list first for this first search only), then search the resulting search list - it will give you individuals, not families, so you create a list and work through it looking at the Family window.
Cheers, Brett, Hamilton, New Zealand ----- Original Message ----- From: John Roose To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 11, 2011 8:28 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] Search help As a long time Legacy user I use the search feature quite often. I've hit the same question twice and am not sure if I can solve it via search - couldn't figure out how the first time - and now hope some guru out there can help! I have a mother's will that lists three female married children. The deceased mother may/may not be the birth mother of the children due to having had two or more husbands. This is in the late 1700's when families tended to use the same first names VERY frequently. The search I need is to find the family or families in my Legacy database that have daughters with all three of the given names, or alternately with just two. [mother: Jean Harris; daughters: Jean Dawkins, Cloey Lisles, Lettes Cockrell; the three daughters surnames are common in my data file, the mother's surname is not in there - yet] All suggestions appreciated.
