Bob, Just go to the main search page and type in at least the given and surnames of the father and the given name of the mother. Obviously if you have the maiden surname for her that's even better. Leave all other names blank. Set the Event box at either "Birth/Christening" or "All". You can also use the regional and year range boxes. I've also found that even if you just know a woman's maiden name you can use that on its own. For instance, I was sure that an ancestor's sisters must have married and had children, but I didn't know their married names. So I assumed they would name a son after their own father, going by Scottish naming patterns, and used the given name of William and the mother's maiden surname of Barton. I was able to filter it down to just search Scotland. It works really well. Hope that helps!

I thought I had the method written down, I have looked through my papers and have not found the method. There is also instructions on their site, but that didn't work for me. Could SKS spell it out for me? Thank you. Bob. Guelph. _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.
