	I always use New Search, and have no problem. Smith and Jones work perfectly well in New Search. But I did try Old Search, and no difference.

	Are you using the old search or the new search? It sounds as though you have been switched to the "new search". I know I was yesterday for some unknown reason. If you switch back to "old search" then the birth comes up on it's own as the only one. Kath. x

	Hi all, It seems to have "gone funny" on me. Re births 1916+, if I put in parents surnames Smith and Jones, no problem - thousands pop up. But if I put in Fell and Verdon, it pulls up rubbish. The first birth that appears is Fell, mmn Moody. There is definitely a birth of a Fell mmn Verdon on there, but it doesn't come up till about page 7. Have I lost my marbles?
