eilenej1 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 I have several people in my project who have no death event, but they're definitely dead. I want a list of these people so I can begin searching for their death data. I've attempted to filter a list of people as follows: 1st line of Filter Field Age Today Operator > Is greater than Value 100 2nd line of Filter (connected with an "And") Field Death... Sub Field # of tags Operator = Equals Value 0 This returns a list of people with a death tag, when I really want people over 100 as of today with NO death tag. Any ideas?

dball 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2006 I came at your question this way: "Birth" "Date" "< comes before" "1906" "AND" "Birth" "Date" "> comes after" "1896" "AND" "# of Death Group tags" "= Equals" "0" "END" This limited my birth date range to possible living people, since I have lots of people in my datasets that don't have death dates, but were born a couple hundred years ago. The use of the death group tags would catch any custom tags in that group, as well. I still got 117 people from a project of 5551 people, but that is because I am working on descendants of rather than ancestors of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JanisR 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 I use the following to change the LIVING flag to N: Any Event Year <= Is before 1890 AND (Living Flag = Equals Y OR Living Flag = Equals ? ) END I used Any Event because sometines I only have their children's birth date, not theirs. After you do this, you can run an LOP for people whose Living flag is N and the # of tags in the Death Group is 0 and you will get your list of those for whom you need a death date/place. This should pick up most of them... Jan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JanisR 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 Well, this did not work! I just checked and tons of people who are living are picked up by the first filter. It appears that any undated tag fits this! What a mess! Back to the drawing board! Jan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
