SATURDAY NIGHT FUN! HOW MANY PEOPLE IN MY DATABASE WERE BORN ON THE SAME DAY AS ME?

Here is your assignment

1.  Use whatever database you wish and find out how many people in your tree have the same birth month & day as you.
2.  Tell us who they are and what their relationship is to you.
3.  Tell me what you found by commenting on this post and/or sharing the link to your own blog post with the details.

Let’s find out how many people in my family (including my husband’s family), were born on my birthday, March 13.

Here is how I will conduct my search in Legacy 8.

• Go to the tabs at the top of your screen and click on “SEARCH.”
• On the far left lick on the magnifying glass that says “FIND” underneath it.
• When the screen opens you will see 6 tabs across the top of the box.  Click on “DETAILED SEARCH.”
• Now, enter the Primary Condition by using the drop down menus and then typing the date you want to look for under “WHAT TO LOOK FOR.”
• Click on “CREATE LIST.”

Here is an image of the search screen I described above.
(click on any image to enlarge it) 



The results for my search indicate that 8 individuals in my tree are designated as having the same birth month and day as me.

Here are the results.

NOTE:  I have redacted the year of birth for 3 people on this list who are still living, including myself.



Now let’s take a look at the relationship of each of the 8 others on this list in reference to me.

CLARK, Dorcas, born 13 Mar 1706 [husband’s 5th great grand aunt]
COWEN, Elizabeth, born 13 Mar 1697 died 12 Apr 1778 [4th great grand uncle’s wife’s mother]
