Ray, Legacy has a feature called advanced set living (a bit of a misnomer since it, in fact, marks living as dead) that may help you with this. Go to Tools > Advanced set living. Legacy will scan your entire database and set to dead those who are more than a specified age (the default is 120).
There is also a way to search for all the living: Go to Search > Find > Detailed Search Look for whom - Individual In where to look use the drop down list to select Living How to Look - Equal to When to look for = Yes Brian Customer Support Millennia Corporation [email protected] http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com We are changing the world of genealogy!
