In the case of the Guild Marriage Index, it is allowed. If the surnames are not registered, the entries appear both ways round and so are fully searchable. > I also wonder whether the search facility that fails to show up > references submitted in your study name is now outmoded? Not being able to search the first surname (the registered one) is to stop someone else "stealing" all your work, which was a major worry for some when the GMI was first proposed. I don't think that principle is likely to change: indeed, it's been adopted for the Worldwide index. Peter Alefounder.
