I have been researching my family tree for a number of years, consequently, my mode of recording data has evolved over time and herein lies my conundrum. Whiling away the time while stuck indoors, I

No, sorry, that is not possible.

Jane, works brilliantly, thank you so much.

Select other and paste in the string to the expression. Remember to change the record IDs to match your parents

Thanks for the suggestion Brian. I dont know much about flags, but in this case would I have to manually add the Flag to each individual? With 4,000 entries that would be a tad onerous. I

Thanks Jane. However, I really am a bit technically shaky! I realise that once I get to the right place I can just copy and paste your text, but where? Do I right click the header on the

Hi, Thanks for the prompt responses. I tend to use the Tools > Re-order Out-of-Sequence Data after I've added a number of individuals but forgot about its use after census entries. You live and
