Anyone have an idea of how to work around this problem? My Mary ELAM married Henry LONDON, and I want to search the Rootsweb pages for LONDON. But how do I get the surname and avoid the thousands of references to London, the city? Under Primary Records alone, there are 1,975 references to London. I checked the first 10 which showed up, and every one of them was referring to a location, not a person! There is even a London, TX, by the way.
