    2. This does not work. I only got his site, but there was no "More" options. There was only one results and when you clicked on it, I got a "oops" page could not be found. Could you be more specific on how to find the site? Charles

The "More" options would have been at google.com, not "his" site, whoever "he" is (not me!). Perhaps my instructions weren't clear enough for you, but by the same token, your description is also lacking in detail. >There was only one results and when you clicked on it, I got a "oops" page >could not be found. Could you be more specific on how to find the site? I _think_ I know what happened. It has come to my attention that the links in my email were broken into 2 lines. Unfortunately, most email programs don't like this, and clicking on the (usually underlined) links generates a "404 not found" or similar message. Since this is a common occurance with long URLs, everyone should learn the trick for dealing with it. If you see that an URL is 2 or more lines, you must copy it from the email text and paste it into the "Address" box in your web browser. Sometimes this must be done line by line, and care must be taken that it has no spaces or ">" characters (added when the email is quoted). It's a pain, I know - computers are supposed to make things easier. Sometimes I wonder if programmers actually use the software they write. Another trick which the SENDER can use to shorten links is to go to http://makeashorterlink.com/ . Copy and paste the URL into the box. Copy the URL that they generate into your email, and bingo, you have an easy-to-click-on link. I should have done this myself, but forgot to in my rush to be helpful. Here are another set of links to the Argyll Census, made shorter as I've just described: A-C http://makeashorterlink.com/?D221154A D-L http://makeashorterlink.com/?Q551254A M-Z http://makeashorterlink.com/?F361124A Mc http://makeashorterlink.com/?W271204A If you STILL don't have any luck, drop me a PRIVATE email telling me EXACTLY what you're doing, and I'll try to sort it out.
