Divorce Date/Place in Find

[Bob Emnett]

I did a search (find anything) of couples: # marked spouses not zero AND marriage status is divorce. This yielded 18 entries with Family Name (couple), Marriage Date, and # Children specified. I changed the number of columns in the 'found' window to 4, changed the column # Children and the fourth column to Event//Divorce Date and Event//Divorce Place, respectively. This showed than NONE of the 18 entries had this information. Knowing that to be not the case, I started checking the entries. For most of them, the family file has at least a date and for many it has a place.

Any ideas what is happening here, or what I did wrong?

Never mind! I found that the answer is to ask for "Status Date" and "Status Place" under "Marriage" - well, I found it, but can't help but wonder what that other path was!!
