MORE SEARCH TOOLS IN THE ‘FIND’ BOX

Clicking on the Find button shows a dropdown menu with some useful search screens:

First Name and Surname take you to lists of these, which you can drill down on and select one to go to the Individual page.

Places can be great for finding where most people lived. Clicking on it takes you to the Place List at the highest level with the greatest numbers, often at a Country level. Clicking on one drills down to the next level, typically the County, then potentially the Place. It depends whether all locations have been set up with Place/County/Country referenced. If not, you may find the same place at different level, eg the same place at county level and below county level. These will be improved as the family trees develop.

If you can’t see as many people in a location as you expect, try starting a level up. Eg if you don’t see many entries for Gresham, start at Norfolk and drill down.

When you drill down at some level you will see a tiny magnifying glass Search symbol at the end of the place. Click on this to see all the events at this place. Clicking on the person takes you to the Individual’s Page.

Search Families – limited use

This search screen lets you search for married couples, not father/son combinations. When you click on Search you see a list of people meeting the criteria. Click on the Family ID on LHS to show more detail of the event. Click on the name of the person in bold to go to the Person screen where you can investigate the family as described above.
