Understood. After thinking about it, I think this is -almost- accomplishes
what I am trying to do. At least so much that the three or four I miss can
be picked up later. Instead of MRIN, I was looking for Spouse, so I could
set Spouse = "none." Your method accomplishes this.

Thank you.

Robert

Robert,

I can create a Search List with individuals without an MRIN number.  But
there is no way of making a list for people who lived to be at least 18
years old because there may be hundreds of people in any given family file
whose birth/chr. dates and/or death/burial dates are not known.  It would be
impossible to calculate ages at death for these people, and even if the
dates were all known Legacy couldn't do it -- Not in a search.

To make a list of individuals without an MRIN, you must first find those who
have an MRIN greater than 0.

First in Detailed Search screen set these conditions:

Look for Whom? = Marriage
Where to Look = MRIN
How to Look = Greater Than
What to look for = 0

Clear the list before the search, then search.

Second, in the Search List click Options and select Advanced Tagging.  Clear
all the tags, then tag everyone in the search list on level 1 (or whatever
pleases you).

Third return to the Detailed Search screen and set these conditions:

Look for Whom? = Individual
Where to Look = Tag 1 (or whatever level you tagged on the second step)
How to Look = Equal To
What to look for = Untagged

Clear the list before the search, then search.

This will give a list of individuals without MRINs, which means there is no
marriage, partnership or whatever associated with them.

Under Search >> Find, wasn't/isn't there a way to make a list of people, say
over age 18 and no spouse, marriage date, marrage place information? I would
love to create such a list if possible.

Thank you.

Robert
