It would be wonderful to have this feature. For example, I have a 5 ggrandfather whose middle name was Rankin. Since he was not a firstborn son, I'm certain the name Rankin came from somewhere in the family before, but it would take me hours to search for a "Rankin" among the myriad aunts and uncle and cousins that preceded my 5 ggrandfather especially considering families of 12-13 Childdren and each of those children have 10-12 children.

Since there is no way to isolate just the names in MY tree and move them to WORD where I could do such a search, it would be so nice to be able to do it in FS.

I don't even know how to find out how many entries are in MY personal tree.
