Brian Your suggestion didn't work when I tried it. I can select multiple locations using ctrl-click or shift-click, but the Show People list only displays individuals associated with the last location selected.
Kathy Another alternative is to tag the locations in the master location list (sorted right to left, click first location for country, shift-click last location for country, Options, Tag) and then do a Location Report for just the tagged locations to include the individuals and their events at the locations. On the options tab, you probably would want to select the "Use current sorted order of the Master Location list" with that having been set as "right to left". -----Original Message----- From: Brian/Support [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, November 10, 2013 11:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Search for all people in one county As Michele recommended use the Master Location List. Using CTRL-click you can highlight multiple locations (All those with your county in the name). Then click on Options > Show List This will display a search list of all the people who use one or more of the highlighted locations You can then tag everyone in that list.
