* Finding unrelated entries

[longfield]

Using v 4, I've recently removed several unrelated branches.

Is there a tool available to find single individuals floating about, which may have been missed? I thought there was mention of Orphans, although that may have been in relation to parent-less children.

If I need to create a 'Report' to find them, how do I do that please?

Thank you.

Have you tried the Standard Query Search For Orphans?

[longfield]

Thank you for replying.

I tried to see the other day if there was a prepared query along that line, but couldn't find one.

If there isn't one, how would I create one? I've only 'split trees' using that feature before, and had to be talked through it. [confused]

Not very good at technical stuff, unfortunately!

As well as chapters 13 and 14 in the book Getting the Most From Family Historian 4, I would also strongly recommend the Knowledge Base article on Creating a Query:
http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id ... ng_a_query

In this case, searching the FH Help for 'orphans' quickly found three references to the required function and to the desired Standard Query.

Did you try View> Standard Queries> Search for Orphans? That's how I get what I think you are asking for.

Sorry for the delay in acknowledgement - my email account has been playing up and notification didn't come through.

I have another play around, following the suggestions made.
