	Can anyone tell me please when searching the partial birth images, when I type in for example Fred Blogs b. 1917, it only gives me Fred Blogs b. 1910, 1901, 1895 etc? I've tried it both ways, with +/- 5 yrs, 1 yr etc and it still does the same. If I try searching for Fred Blogs b. 1917 exact year it comes back with nothing? Sorry for being so dense but its v. frustrating.

	There's very little transcribed for post 1910.....generally you would have to look at the BMD images, quarter, by quarter.... I don't know why you are getting dates outside the range you are asking for though.........??? That hasn't happened to me :o) Merry

	Ah Ha - thanks Merry, that explains everything! I guess it was just giving me what it had closest to the dates I had put in - will do as you suggest in future. kind regards
