Hello all, Apologies for filling up your inboxes this morning to those who are subscribed to multiple lists. However, after reminding you that you can search for ancestral details via Google, I remembered that Paul Dixon sent an email on 24th September with this observation. Hopefully, will now be fully equipped with information as to how to make the best of a frustrating situation.... "Without the Search function, it can be difficult to know in which parishes to look for individual surnames. The suggestion here is a good alternate while Search is not functioning to determine which parishes may be of interest in a search for a given name. The downside is that it delivers you to a single page view, which means there are no navigation aids available. The inteded view is the two frame view with Table of Contents on the left, providing navigation between the various categories of records. It also deliveres you to the top of the page which is probably not where you will see your name of interest. The normal two page view can be restored by clicking on the Rose in the top lefthand corner of the page. This will return you to the home page for that parish, so it will be necessary to follow links to find the menu pages for the registers. Baptisms, Banns, Marriages, Burials Registers and Churches are the links that will guide to these menu pages. The indexes will then allow you to find reference to your name of interest. I hope these suggestions help you to be more successful in your Searches until we get the Search function back online." Regards, Sally
