Let's just say I'm about to visit my local library and I want to search
through the local newspaper death notices/obituary columns.
I only want to search for those folk who died in Tasmania, and in this
case, let's say the online newspaper indexes stop at around 1960.
Simple, I thought, I'll just get Legacy to do a detailed search, and
then do a print-out of the people who currently don't have an obituary
notice; I should also say that within my Legacy database I have an Event
named Obituary that all newspaper death notices get grouped under.
My Search request looked like the following:
Individual >> Death Date >> Before >> 30 Dec 1960
AND
Individual >> Death Place >> Contains >> Tasmania
AND
Individual >> Event-Name >> Not Equal to >> Obituary
This doesn't appear to work, as the results list gives me people who do
have an Obituary event.
My question is: Am I doing something wrong here ?
I think what is happening is that you are finding people who have any
Event which is not named Obituary.
There may be a slicker way to do it, but I think this would work:
create a Search list with your first 2 criteria and tag everyone in the
list with tag X. Now Search that Search List for people who have an
Obituary Event and tag the results with tag Y. Finally search for
people who have tag X set AND tag Y NOT set.
