Martha and Cathy, Thank you for your hints and ideas. I guess I'm just getting lazier and was hoping that I/we/you could figure out a short cut to show only certain people out of a long list who were living in only certain places. This type of list also would have given me a fast overview of how and where these families overlapped.
I'm working on Maryland places - have 45 locales but my direct line people only had BMD and events in 19. And of all the people in my database, only 24 of them had any history in to 19 places. Like I mentioned I am working to just get the direct line cleaned up first, then the extended family will get researched in more depth when/if I have the time.
