    3. Group, I appreciate all the hard work Liz has put into the program. But I too, would like to see, it perform more indexing. For instance, I carefully enter where the parents of each person are born. But, the only report that contains this information is the report that shows that actual census. I would like to see a report where you pull up that individual and it shows the locations where the census says his parents lived for each census report on that individual. (Say for instance, you have four census reports for that individual.) Obviously, you would expect these to say the same thing. But how would you know there was a discrepancy unless you manually look at each census? If three of these reports say the same thing and one is different, you might be able to start concluding that the information in the "odd" report was given by a neighbor or someone who didn't know all the details for that family. Another suggestion, what about a report that shows discrepancies between the census information you have entered and the data in the people list. You could look for ages that are more than two years different from the age expected by the birth date posted in the people list. Has anyone created their own specialized queries or reports? Is so would you care to share with the group? Karen Chappell
