Filter Find results by tree fragment size

Surname study participants need an efficient way to find 1- and 2-node trees so we can gather them up and join them where they belong.

As a start, it would be a great help to be able to filter Find results by No father and/or No mother. That would find all heads of tree fragments, including many duplicates.

Here is just a tiny fraction of what I am dealing with. This is a Puzzilla view of a placeholder page I made to gather the duplicates of a family in British Colonial America. I find the duplicates by using Find and visually scanning the results page for PIDs with no parents. One of these PIDs is not a duplicate; it is a wife at the head of a huge tree. No one knows how she connect to the main surname tree.

How about a filter option on the Find search results page?

    Here is another Puzzilla tree where fragment trees have been gathered under placeholder PIDs so contributors can work on them together without a lot of repetitive searching.
