Please remember....any and all queries must contain several components..... 1) a full name - that is, both given and surname 2) some sort of a date...often times the resource may cover hundreds of years and contain the same name in different centuries, so a date for you ancestor, even if approximate, lets the volunteer rule out some of the name found 3) geographic location (unless implicit in the resource) Another thing to remember is that fair usage, under copyright, does NOT include a 'blanket lookup....that is, "tell me everyone with the surname Smith." You need to request 2 or 3 FULL names only. Copyright is tricky and we need to err on the side of legal. Sandra -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
