You can sort/find the input dates if 'clean'. They change quickly, so plan first. Look for everyone after a certain date. Tag all 'victums' correct dates before doing anything else. Then when dates change you still know who you need.

What I have done so far is to print a report of all those with multiple marriages, do the same for a year old back up file, and compare them. Found a few more that way. Doesn't help when two people were single to start with, but it's a start. Richard, I'm not sure I understand how to accomplish what you suggested, but it sound like a great idea. I will make another backup and try the file maintenance suggestion.
