    3. I’ve tried that a couple of times, Tom, and I don’t seem to be getting it! Have tried it both directions --- marking first all B-M-D-Bu in place then unmarking those not colored RED And marking those colored RED and unmarking those NOT B-M-D-Bu in place! There just has to be a way for this to be created within RM and not lists I have to pluck folks out of if they match!!!! I am trying to find the people in grandmother & grandfathers lines (my mom’s line) B-M-D-Bu in Grand-Pre ----- doesn’t that ‘sound’ basically simple???? Anyone --- another suggestion?

This should work: 1. Clear colour coding for the colour you are going to use in the next step, say, red. 2. Set your group of Mother's ancestors to red. 3. Create a named group using these criteria: 1. Mark Group>Select people by data fields>Birth/Place contains... OR Married/Place contains... OR Death/Place contains... 2. Unmark Group>Clear people by data fields>Color coding is NOT Red 3.

THEN I looked at the list of folks it generated and made a MANUAL LIST of the names of people color-coded! Bruce --- there must be a way that RootsMagic could produce this rather than the hills and valleys above???????
