Bryan,

You've had a couple of replies about how to run an LOP to find people alive
in 1901.

My advice would be to create a custom flag CEN1901 & use the LOP to set the
flag to Y for people alive in 1901, rather than just create a custom
Picklist. The advantage of this is that you don't have to run the report
over and over again - you just filter the Picklist for CEN1901=Y whenever
you want to look at this group of people.

Because I had time (8 months) whilst waiting for the Census to reappear
online, I added a custom CENSEARCH tag to everyone with a CEN1901=Y flag. In
this I put the address or general location at which I expected to find them
and their age in 1901 (if known). I found this very helpful when actually
searching, particularly as age is generally the most reliable search field.
