Karen, When I'm checking those extracted marriages with no other data showing, I've learned a trick which may help with your Scandanavian names. I bring up the potential matches. Click on the name (it's a hot link). Go to the left of the window and click on Spouses and Children. Look at the marriage date and place. Sometimes there are children listed with a birth date. I find many matches that way and eliminate even more. I wonder if it would be useful to return to the search template and search by the marriage date itself? Of course if you don't have the marriage date or the children, that's another problem. Hope it helps!

Some have so little information, it's hard to know if they were intended to be "mine" or somebody else's match. Too many Ols Olesson's I guess with no dates or places attached, and I am sure the problem is very similar in Denmark and Norway. And as a convert, I have to go quite a way back to find a common ancestor with someone else who's in the Church on any of my lines. Karen
