I have a large database for a Genealogy Project.
User will choose a family.
From my Database each family has a unique number.
Based on The family chosen. I have created a range of all the names in the family using the inique family number, to update a death.
Because that person may have been part of other families through marriages each person has a unique ID.
Is there a way to get that ID which is located one col back from the name so I can update all the Deaths. The reason I need it is because the father and son may have the same name. Here is a picture of what I looking for. If Joe Jr Dies my Drop Down allow me to choose between Joe and Jean. I would like to know Joe jrs unique code (50c) which rests 1 cell back. So I can update the death in both families,
