    1. [BK] Searching for a person by location
    2. pipsisewa via
    3. Hello John and All, Does anyone know of a convenient method to search for a person by an event? For example, looking for someone named Smith who is/was somehow associated (born, resided, married, died, etc.)with Harris Co. TX. I know that I can go to FIND/Word Search/Any Field/ And enter Harris Co. TX which will give me a listing of EVERYONE in my database who is associated with that location. However, I have very large database and that technique generates a long list which must be scanned locate all the Smiths. Then further examined to find the one person who meets all the other criteria I am seeking. Perhaps there is an approach I haven't considered, any thoughts ? Thanks, Pip
