I went in to the same pages on IE and got through. Found several family members, some that we didn't know before where they were in '20, and will do some more tomorrow. I don't have a lot of faith in their index, though, since I found one family that I happened to already know the address by going through several EDs in the Bronx until I found the right one, and the name looks right, but it's not indexed like what I saw on the page. Oh, well :-). Thanks again!
