Janet, Yes, I did that too. I got over 6000 hits with the name Wall, so I put it in under genealogy and only got 245. About half of them were about walls being built, repaired and falling but the rest did have the surname Wall and in Tewksbury! Since it was a tight knit community back in the 1700 and early 1800's, I consider all of them potential relatives and am keeping them until I can find them in births, deaths and Wills through the FH Center's later. Thanks, Janet <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at http://www.aol.com.

I have similar trouble researching my NEW family of Northway Ashchurch. I found that using NEARx helped keep the number of hits more focussed and easier to skip past the new buildings, to the NEW family documents. A search for "New NEAR3 Northway" brought up 3 hits, 2 of them were documents relating to my family. A similar test using WALL NEAR3 Tewkesbury brought up 10 hits, not all were brick walls.
