Then go back and remove Harris Co from the Born location and type it in the Died location and click Make List to Edit. Then go back and remove Harris Co from the Died location and type it in the Burried location and click Make List to Edit. You can go to the Married tab and do a search for that location in Married (once with Husband name and once again with Wife name) To get Resided and all types of events on one report, go to Lists, Locations with Events. Pick the option to "Show all Events". Then click "Other Options" tab and pick "Include only locations containing" and type in Harris Co Then since it is a long list, pick File, Create TXT file. That will send the report to a text file. Then load the text file into your Word Processor.
