Well thank you for that Valerie, I have just tried it and put it on favourites, will try in the morning as I have just tried previously not using your info and got some crazy nutter putting every Cambridge under the sun from day one thats in his tree (American I think). I will try in the morning as timewise it is one hour ahead here and I am exhausted. But thanks, I will let you know if its useful and not the usual **** I have been getting for the past 3 years. So thanks. |

Well thank you for your replies, I am not sure Valerie what you mean that it works. I have tried the inverted commas and putting surname in - it doesnt work. So could you let me know what you mean it works, I get very little, no matter how I put it. |

Its a real pain isn't it? The only thing I can suggest is to pick a christian name and put that in front of Cambridge and put both in inverted commas so the search engine looks for the phrase. Anne |

I have the name of Cambridge as a family surname - I have tried everyway to put it into search engines with no luck, still get the usual Cambridge county info. I have used the ' - doesnt work. Any ideas anyone how to bypass the info you dont want. |
