Has anyone tried Ron's suggestion?  It works for me.

Ron said "In the detailed search would you please like to try:
Individual; Birth Place; Wildcard; *[!United States]"

I've got my American locations set to say "United States of America", so
I typed:

*[!america]

and the search returned people who were NOT born in the USA according to
my database.

Is that what the original poster wanted?

Kind Regards,
Wendy
