Search for persons in a specific cemetery in Legacy?
I think that this has been addressed here or in a HOA or webinar... but how do I create a list of persons in my database buried in a specific cemetery? Or a list of persons with a death date in a specific town?
For burials in a specific cemetery, noting that my cemetery place names follow this format:
ReplyDeleteName of cemetery, City, County, State.
Open master place list or from a specific individual open the cemetery name as if you were going to edit (see that little blue arrow beside the cemetery name in the person's edit screen.)
If you enter via the Master place list, you will have to find the cemetery in your list.
As soon as it is the place of choice, you should see a list of people affiliated with that place appear on the right side of the page.
I can provide a screen shot if any one wants, the community will not allow me to add it to this thread.
You could probably come up with a fancy tag for death date in a specific town, I have not done so with Legacy.
Randy Seaver One thing about Legacy is there's often more than one way to do something. Carol is right about it depending on how/where you enter your cemetery name.
ReplyDeleteMine are in the burial location list like Carol's are but to create a list, I would go to Search instead of Locations. Under Detailed Search select Individual , Where = Burial Place, How to look = Contains, What to look for = Cemetery Name. Sometimes a cemetery name might be used in numerous locations. In that case, What = enough of the place entry to get just that cemetery (ex: Elmwood Cemetery, Mount Vernon, Rockcastle rather than just Elmwood).
That will give you a search list. To create a report for either printing or saving as a spreadsheet or PDF, select Print from the Search List and select the fields you want on the report.
If you enter your cemetery name the "Legacy" way, which is in the address field that goes with Burial Place, then I'm not sure how you get a list by specific cemetery. Hopefully, someone who enters their cemetery names that way will chime in with the answer.
For death date in a particular town, again use Search. Individual, Where = Death Place, How = Contains (if you don't need to enter the full location to get the right results) or Equal (if you need the full location), What = Place name (full or partial).
From Search, I believe you have more options for what information can be included in your report than you can get from going through the Location Master List.
Thanks Linda McCauley , I always love learning different ways to use Legacy. And, I always do!
ReplyDeleteI enter cemeteries in Burial Address. They're then listed in the Master Event Address List. To know who's buried in a particular cemetery, scroll down to the cemetery name and then click Show List.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the ideas. i'll go try them out!
