Hi Not a dumb question, The Origins site search is very specific ref-spelling. Have you tried using the wild cards in the name as both given and surname can have a dazzling number of corruption's? Also allow for transcription errors as handwriting and preservation of the documents can cause odd results. Did you check both male and female buttons when you searched? I have a WILLIAM WALLACE lawful DAU to DAVID WALLACE in my tree!! Having said all that I do not have a sound enough knowledge of the various denominations and their records to confirm that Origins have ALL posible records.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I had tried all variations of spelling, but admitedly not gender! See previous reply as to whether all records are on the site.
