Hope this helps Gen

	I suggest you read about it again on the decoder website. It will not find people for you, it will just help you to group them together after you have found them. For example if you search for surname "Glass" in place name "Birmingham" it finds 20 names. If you then click "Process search" at the top, then "Show results" you will see 20 names. You can then "Group/sort by >Page ID" and it groups them into 3 families, one very large one (originating in Russia) and two smaller ones.
