Today I decided to run a search in Legacy for the people in
my tree of 7,444 who have birthdays in December.
To conduct this search in Legacy.
Go to Search>Find>Detailed Search>Individual>Birth
date>Contains>Dec (or however you enter the months in your program)>Create
list
Much to my surprise, my
list contains 282 individuals.
I’m not going to list them all here.
But, I thought I’d conduct a second search and see who was born prior to
1700.
To do that in Legacy you add a
second condition, using the tip I gave above plus Second condition>and>Individual>Birth
Date>Before>1700>Create list.
This list contains only 8 individuals. Let’s see who they are and how they are connected to either me or my husband, Ron.
CLARK, Ephraim, 4 Dec 1645 in
Dedham, Colonial Massachusetts – Ron’s paternal 2nd great granduncle
CLARKE, Rachel, 13 Dec 1692 in
Medfield, Colonial Massachusetts – Ron’s paternal 5th great
grandaunt
CLARKE, Tabitha, 10 Dec 1672 in
Massachusetts – Ron’s paternal 6th great grandaunt
CLARKE, Timothy, 19 Dec 1674 in
Massachusetts - Ron’s paternal 6th
great granduncle (sibling of Tabitha)
CRITCHFIELD, Sarah, 7 Dec 1688 in
Boston, Colonial Massachusetts – my maternal 7th great grandaunt
FAUNCE, Martha, 16 Dec 1680 – my 7th
great grandmother and one of my Mayflower links – she married Isaac Doty a descendant of Mayflower passenger Edward Doty
FISHER, Nathaniel, 26 Dec 1649 in
England – Ron’s paternal 7th great granduncle
WOODCOCK, John, 16 Dec 1674 in Yorkshire,
England – husband of my paternal 7th great grandaunt
Five of the eight individuals are connected to my
husband. This is no big surprise as I’ve
been able to conduct and prove a lot of his ancestors, going back many
generations.
This was a fun and quick exercise. Have you ever run such a query? I’d love to hear about it. What program did you use? Did the results surprise you?

information.
Happy hunting,
