    3. Just tried this out and it appears that before there was a loop hole and the site was not validating its input. 50 is the maximum you can display and before they must have forgotten to validate that the www input wasn't requesting an invalid amount. This is what my brother calls injecting information into a script, which can be problematic if used for nefarious means. Security requires this injection doorway to be closed. I suspect there is no way to circumvent this as if they have fixed this oversight they probably have done a security overhaul to the site.

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!
