* Individuals without any Sources

[Gary Carson]

I am looking for the correct expression for a query to find individuals without any sources to any fact.

It is crucial to get the specification of the criteria perfectly correct.

If I understand correctly, you want to find any Individual record that has no Source Citations anywhere at all.
i.e.
No <whole record> Citations.
No Name field Citations.
No Note field Citations.
No Individual Fact Citations such as Birth, Death, Census, Occupation that may have multiple instances.
No Family Fact Citations such as Marriage where there may be more than one Family partnership.

That is almost certainly impossible with a single Query and needs a Plugin or a collection of Queries with manual cross-checks.

If you are only looking for any single Facts that don't have a Source Citation then see the KB Unsourced Facts Query.

[Gary Carson]

I already have queries for singular tasks. Was looking for the "magic expression". Will continue to use single Query.

Thanks for input.

This probably won't help, but there is a standard query called 'Sources for Given Record'. It lists all Sources for a record so you can see if there are none at all. But you can only check one record at a a time!

[tatewise]

So if an Individual record is chosen and the Result Set is empty, then it has no Source Citations at all.

That is pretty useful, and includes any Family facts such as Marriage with Source Citations.

However, that =LinksFrom(...) function that the Query uses would make a Plugin really simple to construct by looping all Individual records past all Source records.

Did you ever try this Unsourced Individuals plugin, Gary?

Mike,

I just tried this plugin and it seems to work just fine. I was actually needing something like this myself. One question... would it be possible to add a surname column so one could sort by surname?

Thanks,
Bill

[tatewise]

Try this one

Mike,

Works great. Just what I needed.

Thanks!
