Hi Tony Geoff, I see that Geoff seems to have agreed that it is the location at the time of the event that is the crucial thing. The fact that it may not exist today is somewhat irrelevant; unless you want to visit each location! I agree with Geoff that cross referencing the current situation

I haven't tested this but go to your oldest bloodline ancestor. Do a miscellaneous search. Select that ancestor and chose select Add an idividual and Descendants then on the following Descendant options select only his spouse (this will eliminate all spouses from the selection criteria).

Dennis, Correct on both counts. I assumed that if you removed the All Spouses option by just selecting the immediate spouse of the Ancestor, that all descendant spouses would be dropped - wrong assumption. I guess that just includes the immediate spouse as well. I guess you could achieve this

Hi John. If you have the Deluxe version of Legacy, you will see charting on the toolbar. If not right click on the tool bar and drag it up. Use help whenever. Select your primary person, then select charting. I think you would want a 'Ancestor Upward'. You can drag drop the boxes where you wish.
