Filter for spouse's name

Recommended Posts

I am very new to TMG. I have recently moved my data from _Reunion_, a genealogy program on a Mac, to TMG. Using Reunion, I frequently searched for all the people with a certain surname and certain given name that had a spouse with a certain given name. Is this possible with TMG?

 

An example search request would be: Find all of the George Smiths that married a Mary.

Use a List of Events Report filtered

Principal1 Surname = [?] and

Principal2 Given contains [?] and

Tag Type Group = Marriage

 

This assumes that all Principal1 are male and Principal2 are female.

 

If they are mixed, use the filter.

(Principal1 Surname = [?] and

Principal2 Given contains [?] ) or

(Principal2 Surname = [?] and

Principal1 Given contains [?] ) and

Tag Type Group = Marriage

Thank you very much Barbara.

 

I was expecting to find it as a filter, but I can get used to this method very quickly. I am very pleased that the ability exists. <big grin>
