Does anyone know of a way to search in PAF for an individual by the first names? I'm particularly interested in being able to locate a female within the database; but say for instance, I have forgotten her married name and her maiden name, yet easily recall her given name. (This could be true for a man as well, but compounded with married females.) Is there a simple method to search on the first name only?

Yes there is.
