Hi Have you tried to do a search on the new Pilpt search. I only ask because its included the info on the Old site onto the new.. and may be faster..?? If you use the url below it should take you straight to the search facility and or advanced search.. Pilot not just the 'new' records but all of them to date, as far as I know.. http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp As you say lots of confusion.. Honor Please don't judge me on what I have achieved, but what I have overcome. Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body. Rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
