Have you checked archives for info? http://www.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/sa?DATABASE=index&DBPATH=/u1/data/ga&ELEMENT_SET=HEADLINE&ISEARCH_TERM=evans&MAXHITS=50&SEARCH_TYPE=ADVANCED Your selections are below: Body: State: County: Kind: SubKind: Query Syntax Because you aren't sure of location, I entered only EVANS in the body and GA for state and got 5008 hits for EVANS. When I put Evans John, it got 30,453 hits. The search engine looks at each item as separate entries. After you've scanned GA, put SC in its' place. If you know the county you are looking for i.e. Greenfield, SC then enter in the county field SCGreenf. As a general rule most county lists are state then the 1st 6 letters of the county.
