Finding couples checked as having 'No Children'

[Ancestorsearch]

I there a way to find all the couples who have been checked as having 'No Children'? (For clarification, I am not just looking for couples for whom no children have been entered).

Unless this option is new in Reunion 14, you should be able to do an Advanced Find for Couples with the Condition: Children > "No Children" Checked is Yes.

I just noticed on an old iMac that the "No Children" Checked search condition was already available in Reunion 12, so you should be good to go in 13 if this is what you want. Interesting that the People/Couples highlighting in "Look for..." was the opposite back then.

Thank you. I had been looking for it under People not Children. The drawback is that I can't then search for everyone marked 'No Children' who is also marked with a specific Flag.

Combining the People and Couple searches is complicated by the fact that a person can have "No Children" with one spouse even though they had children with others.

If you don't care that the person had children in other marriages:
1) Unmark everyone in the file.
2) Run the search for couples with "No Children" and mark everyone in the Results by clicking the green checkmark at the top of the Results sidebar.
3) Run a People search for people who are marked and have your flag checked.
4) To preserve this group, unmark everyone in the file then mark everyone in the Results sidebar.

If you want to find someone who was ever in a "No Children" situation and never had any children at all, then # of children = 0 should be added into the conditions for the people search.
