Thanks for the tip Denny. I tried the site and found some information on some family members that I did not previously have. I used a search term of "genealogy [surname] [state]" where [surname] and [state] where specific to my search. I was impressed by the speed of the search. -----Original Message----- From: Denny Shirer <drd@sssnet.com> To: OHLICKIN-L@rootsweb.com <OHLICKIN-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, March 26, 2000 6:21 PM Subject: [OHLICKIN] New Search Tool >Fellow genealogists, > >I'm always looking for better tools to search for my ancestors.
