If I search google for John Commins the Wadey ONS comes up at about page 10 but my Commins ONS still is not there after 28 pages, and still CUMMINS engines are littered throughout John On Fri, Nov 28, 2014 at 4:04 PM, Fíona Tipple <goons@rootsweb.com> wrote: > I have found that if I search for Duignan, plain and unadorned, my Guild > profile, my Y-DNA project and my TribalPages site are lost in the mist, but > if I search for Duignan + surname all turn up on the first result page > (admittedly with all the coats-of-arms and family crest [sic!] bucket > shops) but I'm not complaining! > > Fiona > -- > 5538 - Duignan etc. > > On 28 Nov 2014, at 13:18, Corinne Curtis via <goons@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > > I think its quite a good idea to try searching for your own study > > every now and then using google.
