I agree that the search results for ULYSSES seems unusual. However, if you poke at this a bit harder - what you find are six other family trees that all link William Ulysses FREEMAN to his parents, Joseph Christy FREEMAN and Sarah BUTLER. Five of these six also list the spouse for William Ulysses FREEMAN as Myrtle HAVEN. They all put this family in Indiana. So - it appears that perhaps the one tree submitted with ULYSSES as a surname and giving the father's surname as FREENMAN is in error in several ways. It listed the surname as ULYSSES, when it should have been FREEMAN. And it listed the father's family as FREENMAN, when it too should have been FREEMAN. . In trying to replicate the searches for ULYSSES, I realized that part of the problem with the "exact search" feature is that the default for the search box fills in the father's surname as you fill in the individual's surname. So, when you type in ULYSSES for William's surname it fills it in for the father as well. Thus, the "exact search" feature can't find the family, since in the incorrect tree the father's surname isn't ULYSSES, it's FREENMAN. If you take the ULYSSES out of the father's surname - then the exact search feature does find William. Regards, Joan Joan M.
