Geoff, does this qualify for "locations for anyone surrounding the main person" The person in the Family Group Record shown at the end of this message: His Father and mother and two brothers have full details on birth, death and locations. One sister has birth + location and the other sister has birth + location and death date. The spouse has a name and no dates etc. ---------- One example that was found by the census tool: His father had birth+death date and birth location and the mother had birth+death date. The person found had birth and death dates without locations. He had 7 siblings with no dates/no location to as much as birth+death date and no locations .
The tool logic seems inconsistent. I feel like the tool should find people with birth and death dates that qualify without any other requirements. It seems to me; if I do not select the "Search List Option to Exclude individuals from the Search List with location percentages less than: nn%" then I should get what I want. Isn't what that option means?
