Hello Everyone, Recently I received a message reminding me how to perform a web search using Google (http://www.google.com/). It focused on finding surnames of genealogical interest to me. Maybe you'd like to be reminded also. I'm using Sisson as the surname here, but of course you may substitute any surname that interests you. To find people with the Sisson surname who have email addresses type into the Google blank - "[email protected]" Use the double quotes in the Google blank. It shows that you want both the name and the @ sign that is in every email address. Or try "family history" Sisson @ or genealogy Sisson @ Use a plus sign (+) before words which you require as a must-have, e.g. Use a minus sign (-) before words which you want to reject. (If you were searching for the surname Ford, you might want to write -Henry and -Harrison to avoid sites about Henry Ford or Harrison Ford.) Use quotation marks around two or more words which you want Google to find together and in that order. Use OR to retrieve results that match any number of words. Here is an example using all of these options: +Sisson genealogy OR "family tree" OR "family history" Have fun! David Arne Sisson
