Paul, You have to choose a surname first. If you choose Bailey, it will take you to the first page of B and the earliest deeds made by people whose names began with B. It may be 1821 or later. But they were the first deeds made by people with names starting with "B." My point was that whatever surname you chose, the selections started with the earliest deeds and progressed to the more current ones. When I said they were chronological rather than alphabetical, I meant that each letter of the alphabet's section started with the earliest deeds and the names were not alphabetical ... maybe Betts then Bailey then Brown then back to Bailey, etc. Does that make any sense? By the way, I haven't been able to get to the site all day. I keep getting an error ... no matter which browser I use. I think maybe it has been busy? :-) Judy K ************** >From Wall Street to Main Street and everywhere in between, stay up-to-date with the latest news. (http://aol.com?ncid=emlcntaolcom00000023)
