Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 66 Send Message	Thanks Ann for the tip, been struggling today, a bit of a pain in the neck really constantly having to change spellings lol Nevermind keeps us on our toes :S

	another tip when searching for a name when you are not sure of the spelling when using freebmd is to just put in the first 2 or even just the first letter. It will then give all the names beginning with that. The same applies to cheshirebmd.org.uk which you may find useful if continuing backwards with your research

	cheekychops Issac is a very common mis-spelling or mis-transcription for Isaac One way round the problem is to use the wild card symbol , which denotes one or more missing letters so I would ask for Isac Smith sylvia
