The Location List (one of Legacy's Reports) will do nearly everything you want- assuming you have all the details (Plot no etc in the Location field). First of all, tag all the Locations you want to visit - this is most easily done by sorting your Master List from right to left, then all the entries for each Cemetery will be together. Now run the Location List report, selecting to include Tagged Records only and whatever options you want. I chose to include RINs because this makes the last action easier. Having printed the list, open the Name List with Detail tab showing. Find each female from your Cemetery list, note their married name and write it on the list. Obviously, this method is not so viable if you are looking at HUNDREDS of people, but I imagine it is more likely to be 10s, which isn't so bad! -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
