    3. Hi One-Namers Everywhere Don't bemoan that you can only download 50 results at a time, It'll take you upwards of six months to analise your results, maybe longer, I'm still working on folk I found on ther IGI (1982) years ago, or rather the Organist at Bristol Cathedral a member of the local FH society who photo-copied them then snail-mailed them to me, Just Have fun!

There are instructions around the GOONS site on how to do this, but they all say to change the end of the search result URL to 2000 to get the results in fewer passes. It does not seem to matter what I change it to, I still only get 50 results. I am guessing this is a result of Ancestry's interface upgrade last year, and if it is, does anyone have any ideas about getting more than 50 results. My search came up with almost 4000 results!

    3. Hi John, This is where I find myself confused with the terms used in the "Seven Pillars". I treat "synthesis" as being about understanding familial relationships (and other) between people, and "analysis" as including such as demographics. But, as with many things, we all have our own terminology. So - with the 300,000 entries I have for the UK Census (1841 : 1901), I should be able to carry out a lot of (what I called) "analysis". I say "should" - because I have only scratched the surface (e.g. looking at frequency of first names) - and have so much more I could do. It is just a shame I didn't manage to download data from North America as this would have helped a lot with analysis of the international migration.
