John Robertson has started a great web page and has agreed for the information to be passed along to you. Hopefully this will help you perform more effective searches of the archives. ROOTSWEB LIST ARCHIVE SEARCHES USING CNIDR 1.This is NOT a Rootsweb site, NOR is it a CNIDR site, NOR is it an ISearch site. The above logos link to their respective sites. This is an unofficial set of recommendations on how to construct search queries on the Rootsweb archives that use the CNIDR search software. These methods were partly derived from the CNIDR site, partly by trial-and-error, and partly by the suggestions of others.
