I thought I knew most tips about google (once someone here told me about it!), but using the + for names like Ovens, and ... between dates will really help. Thank you!!!

A week or so (?) ago, somebody published a tip on Google searching (I've forgotten where, it may even have been on GR, in which case, apologies for not crediting it). I used Google to search for my grandfather "hans margulies" and Greatuncle "Emil margulies". I found several references and was feeling very pleased with myself. The tip was: search for "Yourname surname" or "yourname surname interests". so I did, and came up with even more references !! p.s. enter "google" in the search bar above ! there are other google-tips here, too !
