RESEARCH HELP

Make the most of the index.

Start with a name

Search across every field, or use Surname and First name. Searches ignore case and accents. Choose Exact or Starts with to refine a name.

02

Combine your clues

Filters work together. Try a surname with a location, record set or occupation in the notes. Alternative spellings need separate searches.

03

Understand the dates

Date contains matches the original date text. Year ranges include any overlapping period: “1800s” covers 1800–1899. Entries without a recognisable year are excluded when a year range is set.
