Very good :D

It seems to work with a selection of fields filled in too.

for example I put in miner and Stirlingshire and got a couple of pages.

Now if only I could remember who family history says emigrated :?

I know how you feel Wilma I had to phone my mum to ask her the names of the people I was to look for.
