"The challenge for the day"

If you can isolate the individuals by using a flag, you should be able to get the information you want by using the list-of-events report.

In my project I use the emigration tag.

(1) Ran a l-o-e filtering on "label type eq emigration" and for the individuals selected changed flag "temporary" to "Y". Flag "temporary" is just that, a transcient tag I used for whatever.

(2) Ran a l-o-e filtering on

principal1 temporary eq y and
(label type eq birth or
label type eq death ) end

The output contained birth and death information for all my emigrants.

Any emigrant who did not have at least one tag either birth or death would not be listed.

If you want to report information from different tags such as "emigration" or some custom tag(s), add them to the list.

principal1 temporary eq y and
(label type eq birth or
label type eq death or
label type eq emigration or
label type eq xyz ) end

The secret here is you cannot filter for "label type eq emigrant" and "label type eq birth" in the same run because with a l-o-e, you are looking at each tag individually and a tag can be either emigration or birth but not both. In the second run, testing the flag is the equivalent of testing for label type eq emigrant".

That is pretty much what I came up with. A List of People report showing
all who were immigrants with their birth dates but no immigration
details and/or a separate List of Events with the immigrants names and
immigration details but no way to include their birth dates.

I was hoping to get it all in one list. The fact that no one else
responded may be because it can't be done within TMG.
