Michele,
I did some more testing:
1. The census tool finds 1848 individuals for the 1930 census and I tagged these
with tag 2.
2. Next I did a Detailed Search >
Look for whom?=Individual >Where to look= Birth Place>
How to look=Equal To>What to look for= blank, no entry here.
Second Condition: AND>
Look for whom?=Individual >Where to look=Death Place>
How to look=Equal To>What to look for= blank, no entry here.
Third Condition: AND>
Look for whom?=Individual >Where to look=Tag 2
How to look=Equal To>What to look for=Tagged
This search finds 349 Individuals and I looked at about 20% of these. They do
have one or both dates and no location.
I have run check repair on this file.
