Hi Jayne, One facility of FAMILY historian that I found very useful in dealing with a Census is the ability to select which year irrespective of it being the first or eighth a person was recorded on. In this way, the parameters of the query would be - Birth Date: %INDI.BIRT[1].DATE% Census Date: %INDI.CENS[year=1891].DATE% I've actually built myself a set of queries where this facility is used - as you can guess its one per Census year. I started with one set showing who had been recorded and then added another set where people should have been recorded but whose details I have not found or entered. Hope this helps. Best Regards Graham ----Original Message----- To: FAMILY-HISTORIAN-USERS@rootsweb.com Subject: [FHU] Individuals missing from custom query result Hi Everyone,I made custom queries for each census year to help clear old flags and set new ones. When I run each query the results look good. For example, running the 1891 query gives me a list of individuals with birth dates before 1891 and the census date column shows the 1891 date for all individuals. I used the "clear flag on result set" but noticed that the flags set on an individual were still showing in the property box against his name. When I checked the results list from the query, he is not on it (and there are a couple of others who aren't , but should be.)I checked to make sure they had the census details in the "fact" box and this is ok. They have birth dates in the right place (he was born in 1859) I can't work out why he isn't showing in the query results. These are my parameters in the query" Birth Date: %INDI.BIRT[1].DATE% Census Date: %INDI.CENS[1].DATE% Add if %INDI.BIRT[1].DATE:YEAR% was earlier than 1891 Exclude unless %INDI.CENS[1].DATE:YEAR% was on 1891 He doesn't show in any of my custom census queries, but I ran the standard query "Census Record Checklist" and he showed up ok in that for 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901.Obviously I have overlooked something, can anyone help please?
