Dear DeAnn, Two things that I have discovered or found out. If you use the old format for searching, you may find what you had. Go to the homepage and click on 'Searh All Records'. It will open up the various catalogue sections and go to that specific catagory and open it up and do your search only in that area. The previous search results you found may turn up. The other thing that we learned in February when some of the sessions from the Rootstech Conference in Salt Lake were made available online, we downloaded some of them. and printed out the syllabus. Barbara Renick/Resnick* gave a wonderful presentation on the 11 levels of searching, which was wonderful. But the thing I appreciated the most was her statement: At any point in time on the internet it is the timing that is crucial. How quickly can the info be retrieved and what is available at that particular moment. Her comment was: "What rises to the top the fastest is what turns up in the search." That is why we often get different results each time we search for the same person.* The Search Engine picks up what it finds first, and may run out of time before it gets to the records that you need. That is one of reasons that searching by location often brings better and more complete results. Of course, sometimes it doesn't work that way. Wishing you Good Searching Susan E
