First, Legacy stores events in several places. Otherwise you could query just an events table. But Birth, Christening, Death, Burial, and Marriage are not stored in the events table unless you have intentionally created those events in addition to the ones that show on screen. That makes finding all the event dates and places a little more difficult but not impossible.
Lets start with just the built-in Birth event which is stored in the Individual record. Use Search>Detailed Search> and these parameters: Primary Condition Look for whom? Individual Where to look Birth Date How to look Contains What to look for 1930 Second Condition And Look for whom? Individual Where to look Birth Place How to look Contains What to look for Texas Click on the "Clear List before this search" radio button, then click "Create List". The top bar of the Search (results) List will show how many individuals were found. Click on the "Options" button, then click "Advanced Tagging", then set radio button "Untag" and "Make changes on #" to 1. Click "Everyone" to clear that tag. Answer "Yes". Set radio button "Tag" and "Make changes on #" to 1. Click "Everyone in Search List" to set tag1 for the individuals in the search results. Click "Close" twice. You now have tag1 set for everyone in the database that was born in 1930 and has Texas somewhere in the Birth Place location field. To get other events, follow the same sequence. To find events in the events table, use "Event-Date" and "Event-Place" in the search parameters. For marriages, change Look for whom? to "Marriage". You can set a different tag for each type of search or use the "Add results to existing List" radio button to combine all of the searches into one results list and tag the whole thing.
