Hi: I have created a 'group' of my mothers ancestors. NOW I want to create a sub group - her ancestors that were born, married or died in a particular location. Can I do that? My trials have been unsuccessful! Pat Mc

Could you color Code the group and then search for any fact Location and color equals? ?

Pat -You could check Lists > Place List > type in the location you want.It does not show any color coding {which could be MOST helpful]but it does list date - event - and person or couple involved. If you don't have a lot of extra folks involved - it could help you narrowdown choices.

My trials have been unsuccessful! I'm a little late to this thread, but I would suggest that there is no direct way to create a subgroup from a group in RM. Which is to say that group membership is not a criterion that can be used for searching or marking or anything like that. But if you wish to be a little bit creative and if you don't mind using color coding in a somewhat temporary fashion, you can use color coding as a surrogate for group membership. And having done so, you can search and mark based on color coding. For example, create your group of your mother's ancestors - say it's called mothers_ancestors. Suppose nobody in your database is color coded. So color code some people green, and use as your color coding criteria the named group mothers_ancestors. Then make a new group where you mark three times - 1) color coding is green AND birth place contains kentucky, 2 ) color coding is green AND marriage place contains kentucky, 3) color coding is green and death place contains kentucky. Replace "kentucky" with the place name of your choice. Having done this process, clear your color codes, and your new group will be the set of people who are your mother's ancestors and who were born, married, or died in your particular location. Jerry

I have done something like that to get the report I need. Mother's fathers side is RED, mother's mothers side is BLUE. Then create the 'group' of my mother's ancestors. Turns out I can't do details next with colors and B-M-D-Bu (not enough space for that many options)! So, with the colors, I created an Anhentafal report ... that shows the colors as to which lines. Then saved the report, did a search for each of the 3 locations I needed to Identify, and highlighted them in 3 separate colors. Now I have a 25 page report, the two lines identified by the color coding, and the locations highlighted. It's NOT the way I would have liked ---- but it will serve the purpose. Need to convert the report to a PDF and then pull it over so it appears on my IPad for the trip!!!!! Thanks everyone for the various suggestions. REQUEST for TECH SUPPORT: Could you find a way to do a sub-group under/within a group please! At least put it on the list!
