Searching with "Explorer"

[R L McIlvain 0]

I am trying to find all persons named 'Robert' who married 'Sarah'. I am unable to find any field for marriage names in Explorer. How come?

I don't see a way to get it from the Project Explorer, but it's easy with a List of Events report - look for a marriage tag with principals whose names include Robert and Sarah. A filter like this works:

 

Tag Type Group is Marriage AND

Principal1... Given Contains ROBERT AND

Principal2... Given Contains SARAH END

 

but you may need to also run it with the names for P1 and P2 reversed, or use a combined filter to look for both:

 

Tag Type Group is Marriage AND

( Principal1... Given Contains ROBERT AND

Principal2... Given Contains SARAH OR

Principal1... Given Contains SARAH AND

Principal2... Given Contains ROBERT ) END
