New queries.

Hi Jane
To be a liitle more clear
Often queries are constructed thru help by yourself or Tatewise for a particular person or search
They never get added to the download queries list
Is this not possible ?
Thanks

Orphans

Thank you Jane
Yes I did read about pools.
What is the point then of the Orphans query ??
I thought it would return a result of children with either no parents or only one parent.
To write a new query as suggested what rows and what columns are required please
Thanks
