Then put it in a new query, or use it to check the 94 hits for Frank FIORE in the Social Security Death Index : http://ssdi.rootsweb.com That website has an Advanced Search that will accept a year of birth. The wild card 188* would cover the decade of the 1880s, for example. The wild card Fran* would pick up men named Francis, if that is desired. Reg Niles
