Missing Spouse Report #228

Open txmusick opened 2 years ago

txmusick commented 2 years ago

I've utilized the report for spouses with the same surname, but I need to go a bit deeper. I'm looking for a report for daughters whose surname doesn't match their father's. I try to catch these as I pull in a census record, obituary, or findagrave, but I'm sure I have some lingering. I like to go into their record, add a spouse with the married surname, using a question mark for their first name, and then correct the daughter's surname to match their father. When I view my name index by given name first, those with a ? for a first name are at the top and I know to go research to fill in their info. Is there a report that catches daughters with a different surname than their father's? Would it be possible to get one? I love this tool, it's helping me clean up so much clutter and pinpoint errors. Thanks so much for creating it!

I agree! I'm glad to see how helpful this would be! Relationship reports can be easily constructed using Boolean logic. A similar report to construct would be for childless couples! That report could easily turn up numerous unknown relatives!
