You have to type in surname at a minimum. In other words, you can look for all of a particluar surname with genealogy.com. However, you cannot do a soundex search, not can you break down by townshio, age, etc. I would NOT recommend the free 14 day trial of genealogy.com. Don't get me wrong; I like genealogy.com; but wouldn't recommend the free trial with it, ancestry, or any other. The catch with thos "free trials" is that they will want your credit card, and you will likely have a difficult time cancelling. In other words, something will likely end up on your bill. If you will provide me with first and last name of head of household, (along with any spellings of the last name that you have found), I will check the 1900 and 1910 for you.

Does anyone knows how well Genealogy.com works? I need 1900-1910 for they same man and I have ancestry.com but believe it or not he can't be found doing a normal search. In 1920 he is known as Brasman, and in 1930 known as Bronson. I just wanted to know if I order the 14 day free trial on genealogy.com can you search by age and or just type and maybe even just by first name, age and township. I can do this on Ancestry.com and that is how I found him. Thanks for the input. Lindsey ==== INRANDOL Mailing List ==== "Love is the only thing that multiplies when you divide it."
