I believe they were in an Instutution so just put instutution in the resident address and just their surname in the search - that produced a list of residents in instututions with that surname. Tried again with just first names and that produced a list of that first name in instututions. Tried again with just an initial and again that produced a list of people. This may help someone, hope so. Irene
