	I have spent the last hour doing just that Sue. Talk about time consuming searching through all the categories. I have given up.........i honestly can't see the sence in it.

	Prickles, You would get the categories that the person you were looking for 'showed up in'. That would be loads. You then have to pick out appropriate, e.g. birth, baptism, etc., census record etc., I haven't looked on today so maybe something else is going on. It sounds like it. Oh why do they have to change everything, when theres no problem.!

	Prickles, They have changed the way of searching, if you can find where to look. IMO There was no need for the change, and I have been tearing my hair out trying to do searches. From what I have read, a lot of others feel the same way Sue :-S Edit. You have to put the name etc., and the categories that that name is in are thrown up. Then you have to hit on the category you require, and it brings up some digitalised information.
