Agreed, let's add these to our wish list Jim.

Thanks Murray,

My short-term solution is to create a gedcom, import it into Legacy and
do a search for Trees in the database. Works well, just takes time. I
hope someday Genbox will do as good a job at manipulating our data as it
does in documenting it. I miss search and replace capabilities, "bulk"
deletes of unwanted branches and other data management tools that are
fairly standard in other programs. Guess I will have to stay with two
programs for now.

Jim

| Hi Jim
| I had the same problem and we had a discussion on this a week or so
| ago. If they are unlinked to anyone else you can filter (or search) on

| Spouses, Children & Pfam =0. If they are isolated 'clumps' there
| appears to be no way to find them in Genbox.
|
| I ended up using GenViewer which has an "Islands" feature which
| quickly highlights them.

| My brain needs a flushing or something. I am in the process of
| pruning a lot of branches added in the zealousness of youth (stuff
| added that I can't even remember where it came from). After removing
| the branches, some unlinked people are invariably left in the
| database. How do I find these people so I can remove them?
|
| Thanks,
|
| Jim
