How to find marriages that aren't set to primary

[betsymil 0]

I have discovered that some Marriage events are not set to primary. Is there a way to filter for those records?

 

Thanks!

There are probably many ways to do this but to find the people involved Project Explorer [PE] can do that easily by using the Primary check box in front of a filter condition that refers to tags. For example, to find people that have at least one of any type of tag in the Marriage group, but none of them are marked Primary, try the following PE filter:

   Marriage Group... # of Tags > Is greater than 0   ANDX  Marriage Group... # of Tags = Equals		  0   END

Or to find those where there *is* a primary tag but also there are other non-primary tags try:

X  Marriage Group... # of Tags = Equals		  1   AND   Marriage Group... # of Tags > Is greater than 1   END

If you then want to work through these people to clean up their tags, I would suggest selecting all the people shown on the filtered PE then creating and saving a Focus Group from these people. Now you can unfilter the PE and work on these people as you get time.

 

Hope this gives you ideas,
