Sandi and All: Haven't seen the following posted to SCK yet, so thought I'd share the following posts to and from a couple of other lists. Harleigh > >A tip on how to obtain all of the surnames from "The War of 1812" list >provided by Sierra Home's, free search this month for surnames and regiments >in the War of 1812 on the site posted by Janet below. > >Once you have reached the limited output of 100 names. You can then search >with complete name for specific individuals as you said Donna. But, you can >get all of the names for each surname beyond the limited 100 by entering >just an initial as the given name. Example: Say the last name of the first >100 names was James Johnson. You can then enter "K" (Without the quotation >marks!) Johnson, and all of the Johnson's having a given name beginning with >"K" will appear on your screen. You can continue on through the alphabet to >get the rest of the Johnson's having given names beginning with "L" through >"Z". To get those remaining which have a given name beginning with "J" and >following James, you can either enter "J" (Without the quotation marks!) or >you can pick specific given name(s) such as John Johnson and so on (But this >amounts to guess work!). To varifiy that you have all (say 580) of the >Johson's contained on "The War of 1812" list, you can run an adding machine >tape of the number (Of "A" thru "Z" Johnson's) as indicated on each screen >you look at. Then compare your total from those screens with the total >number of Johnson's as indicated on the very first screen (The one that >shows the first 100 - "A" through ???.). If your list comes up short, you >likely missed some of the "Js" following James Johnson or one of the >alphabetical letters following the "Js". > >Hope this helps!
