Cheryl, I have not used PAF, so I cannot make a direct comparison.
The important thing to understand is that with Legacy one can in effect make customised searches by combining the various searches and tagging. These are all found under Search>Find. Commonly this may involve the use of Detailed search as the final step. For example, under the Miscellaneous tab all individuals with no parents could be tagged with, say Tag 1 and subsequently in the Detailed search one can search for all individuals with Tag 1 equal to tagged AND on row 2 all individuals whose birth date is before 1800. This would give all those born before 1860 whose parents are not known. For people with no birth date the Miscellaneous Information enable one to tag all those with no birthdate. Then as above enter this in row 1 of the detailed search then AND row 2 born after 31 Dec 1860. Remember also that the last box on the detailed search rows can be left blank, so not equal to "blank" can be used. I think that by playing around with these options you will soon get the general idea, and we will be willing to help with the specifics.

I guess I'm too used to using PAF, but I can't figure a way to get a list of all the people who died after 1860 who have no birthdates. The Missing Info tab gives me people who have neither bd nor dd but whose children are born in the late 1700s as well as those who meet my criteria. The other tabs I don't see a "does not exist" option or anything that works (for me) like that. Presumably, it's something I'm doing or not-doing, so would one of you tell me what it is? Thanks!
