Hi Jane, I think I know what you are talking about, because I ran into the same thing when I was researching some of my family names. The only thing I thought of is when he adds new articles to the site, somehow it reindexes. I figured there were also duplicates because sometimes the notice ran in the newspaper on more than one day. I think eventually I did get through all of the mentions of my family name. That's my guess as to why this might happen. Does anyone else have a better answer?

I found that articles also ran in 2 or 3 different newspapers.
