Hi, Thanks for the information. But could I just add... there are problems with soundex search in lots of their databases. Have been dealing with ancestry on this for some time now. Sending examples, etc. So be real careful of relying on the soundex searches on most of the databases. Take care - Emma In a message dated 6/1/2004 9:31:17 PM Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: one tip - the soundex is not working...you have to search for the exact spelling... hopefully - they will add more counties soon...
