Neither have I, and I definitely advise against using abbreviations in locations, especially if you wish to publish, as very few will know what they mean, especially for states, counties, provinces.

Brian, I don't think it can be done from your Legacy program - not sure about LTools though. It will be possible using Access.

Re: [LegacyUG] Need help with a search
Hi Brian, I've just run an experimental test on my own database to try and emulate what you're looking for, and this worked for me... Look for: individual Where: birth date How: contains What: 1965 AND Look for: individual Where: birth place How: contains What: auckland ... and this gave me a list of people in my database who were born in Auckland in 1965. I didn't specify country, I kept the search term less specific, and it has picked up people with Auckland, New Zealand as well as suburbs within the city. (It would seem that I don't have anyone born in Bishop Auckland, England, or anywhere else with Auckland in its name in that year.) Does this help?

RE: [LegacyUG] Need help with a search
Brian, Don't you mean death date after 1839? The problem is that this will give you those who were not born before 1839. If you tag those who have an Event place for Munzesheim then this will include those who lived there in any year, so even if you then search this list for those born before 1839 and died after that year you will hardly dent the original list, because it will include those who lived there either before or after 1839, but not in 1839. The problem resolves to the fact that you wish to search a specific event, or more than one event eg. residence and census, with a specific date which applies only to that Event. Even more problematical if there is no specific Event, would be to look for someone who was there for a prior Event, and still there at a subsequent one. I'm sorry that I am only defining the problems, rather than giving a solution, and it just may be possible to work something out using only Legacy rather than SQL, but if so I have yet to see it.

RE: [LegacyUG] Need help with a search
Are you sure all of your entries are spelled the same way? The city in German is Münzesheim (that's Munzesheim with an umlaut on the u for those whose computers put in ? instead of umlauts). Usually in English an umlauted u is spelled Muenzesheim, but sometimes just plain ole Munzesheim. If various of your entries are spelled differently, I speculate that some search engines would recognize each of the 3 possibilities as different.
