Hi John, Yes. You can easily do this using the Custom Report feature. You will need to know how to use the Advanced Focus/Filter process to select the individuals that meet the various criteria, but it should not be hard. If you have never used the Focus/Filter process, let me know and I will give you some instructions to do one of these reports.

John, It should be mentioned that after you set up the custom report, you then go to the button that says "sort" and have the report sorted on birthdate. The "sort" button allows you to chose what fields you want to sort the report by. You can also sort the names by first name and surname. I just recently did a birthdate sort to group family children together. Those without dates show up on the report first. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Rands" <rrands@cfmc.com> To: <PAF-5-USERS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 12, 2005 2:02 PM Subject: Re: [PAF-5] Sorting individuals > Hi John, > Yes.
