Google and (Y)ahoo are two of the main search engines for searching the web. When you first go onto the internet, you will see a search option. Use that to search for freebmd. There is a mountain of info out there that you can find by searching. Sometimes a search for a person will bring up a web-site that has him/her in a tree. Ken

Yep thats right Mary. When you put in a word into the google ect search engine it will search for the word and show you a list of web pages that contain it. Most will be irrelevant though. If you search for a name and put it in ' marks it will search for that whole name or sentence cutting down on the miscellaneous stuff. I keep google as my home page as I use it quite a lot. Just some useless info. To set a page as your home page (the first page you see when you open your internet browser) go to the page you want to set it as and then go to the top of the browser click on 'tools' and then 'internet options' and click the ' use current' and that will set your homepage.
