A Little clarification on this utility I have. It works best if: - you know the first name but not the last name so you want to see for example, all Martha's b. abt 1835 and what her potential spouse's name might be. I'll give you all the suspects and you can go off researching all those candidates, eliminating them one by one till hopefully you stumble on the correct one -or- - you know the last name but don't know the first name. Not sure when this situation would occur but I can come up with candidates for this scenario. If you have both first and last name, and especially if you have found them on the 1850 census, then most likely this program will offer no new information and you can probably view the information for yourself by doing a surname search on the 1850 census at: http://www.azcaseys.com/lookups/lct1850/ghtindex.html However, I am not opposed to trying different things with this utility and am not trying to discourage anyone from contacting me. I am just trying to define the limitations of what the program can do. Like I said before, I am trying to discover uses for it. So don't be afraid to propose scenarios to me. I'm just trying to clarify for you (and for me) when it might assist you. Another example: Someone once posted here something like "I know my Susan Waters should be on the 1850 LCT census with husband John. She is on the 1840 and the 1860. I can't figure out where she is on the 1850 census." This type of search was what piqued ny curiosity for this program. I can type in Susan and John and come up with all the combinations. Then look at the children's names or the parents ages and see if somehow the surname got mangled on the census. I can just look for all the Susan's and see if maybe John went to NC to work for a year and wasn't present. I can look for children's names to see where the parents might be. These are just a few thoughts I had when I had this program created. Hope this clarifies things. Diane
