Working with Queries

Hi
I'm trying to make a list of all my direct ancestors so that I can instantly see what events and sources are missing.
I know I can use a standard query and alter it for my needs but I can't see how I can add the marriage event to the list.
Anyone got any ideas or am I missing something plainly obvious.

Thank You

As you have posted in General I can't tell which version of FH you are using.

Select the query you want to base your query on, use the menu button to save it as a custom one, then to add the marriage column go to the Columns tab and select Family AS Spouse and then marriage.

Alternately take a look through the custom queries in downloads

This one looks promising>

Also try this page which explains how to build a simple query.

You should be able to find the Marriage Event on the Columns tab of the Query window by expanding Family as Spouse>>:

Don't forget that some of your ancestors may have had more than one spouse.

Thank you to both of you
I had tried expanding the family as spouse but stopped short of finding the correct one

Thanks
