You have to use a bit of lateral thinking here. Search first for everyone who *was* born in the US and tag the individuals on the resulting list. For argument's sake, let's say you use Tag 9. Now search on 2 criteria, firstly that Indidivduals have a Death Location containing "United States" AND that Individuals have Tag 9 equal to Untagged. Tagging is a really useful adjunct to Searching and users with a "problem search" should always look at the possibility of using tagging to create or eliminate a sub-set. -- 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
