The problem is how to do this, so a classification of LOOKUP was created. Now we have forgotten or some newbies never knew what this term meant or how this term was used and how it works or maybe now we just want to redefine it. James- This wasn't how the classification of LOOKUP came to be. We originally had suites of 7 GenConnect boards--one board for queries and the remaining 6 for data types--Bios, Bibles, Deeds, Wills, Obits, and Pensions. Then a research group asked the GenConnect programmer/developer if they could have a special suite of test boards with some other classifications/board categories that they specifically asked for--The Fox surname research group. One of the board types they asked for was Lookup and I'm sure they had their own reasons for requesting a Lookup board. When the current boards were designed and the classifications were being discussed it was decided by the Product Manager at the time that the board types currently in existence, including the one group of test boards that had additional classifications, would be what was carried through onto the new boards.
