Default Ancestry question on places

I’m currently staying with our daughter and her family for a while. We are in Victoria which is 1600 kms from our normal home, so I’m looking at searching cemeteries.

I know some distant rellies are buried in Victoria but I was trying to find them in my tree.
The ‘find in tree’ only works for names of people not,places.
So…..can anyone tell my missing brain if there is some way of finding all the people in my tree who might be buried in Victoria without going through each person.

How large is your tree?

If it's (say) 2000 or less and nobody can suggest a better way:

Open the list of all people.
Copy each page. All it takes is name, birth and death.
Slap into Excel, keeping the formatting.
You have three columns, and the name is a hyper link.

It obviously doesn't show the burial, but you can delete those obviously not buried there. Keep the original list, in case you accidentally delete someone important.
Are the cemeteries online? If one opened in 1860, someone who died in 1840 would be buried elsewhere.

Of course we all know that people can be commemorated without being buried in that location, but presumably such a detail would only appear in your notes.

If you have ProTools, Find in tree> List of all people > Filters > Events & Places, then you can select Birth, Marriage, Death, Lived In or Any Event and type in Victoria, Australia for the location. If you switch from one of those events to another, you have to make sure to clear the previous filter first.

Thank you both. Great ideas.
I might look at Pro Tools for a short sub.
