Hi Ann Google is a search engine,possibly the most powerful there is. Just enter google in your normal search (if you use AOL it is the default search option) When you enter the name in the search box simply put your rellies name in speechmarks like this 'John Doe' or 'John+Doe' That first option means you only get results which contain either part of the name,the second only gives results with both parts of the name.

If you put '' round the name, like 'Fred Bloggs' you will avoid getting all the sites which mention (for example) Fred Jones and Bert Bloggs.

No such thing as a silly question Ann. Just go to www*google*com/webhp and type in the name of your relative in the 'search' box. Don't forget to substitute a . for the * Good luck. Maggie

Hi All This may seem like a silly question, but how do you 'google' a relly's name. Thanks Ann.
