Query Mode using Flags on multiple spouses

M731S25 · Post by **M731S25** » 06 Sep 2011 21:52

I have tried to create a query that lists those members who have marriage certificates. I created a new flag as 'MC' which matches my source type document.

I thought this was fine until I realised the query only picked up the first spouse and not subsequent spouses.

The query mode should be relatively simple to operate. If there is a source document called 'MC' for all my marriage records then I would like to see them picked up, whether there are multiple marriages and/or multiple source records.

I would like to have the confidence that the program isn't 'skipping' over some of the data - possibly the drag 'n' drop approach might make this solution easier.

Thanks for this consideration.

Why not simply build the query on the Family Records rather than the Individuals?

or just add a few more record selections to add in say 10 extra spouse checks.

or use a Fact Query for Marriages.

Thank you for your advice - I will give it a try and see how it goes.

There is a new Knowledge Base article on Creating a Query that may be of interest at:

Any feedback on how useful it is would be welcome.

No WL item will be created for this.

Can it be moved out of the requests forum please Jane.
