Searching

Here are some searching tips from Sandy.

Please remember you can search with one name only. You can even search a common name like John or Mary if you know exactly where they should be living, where they were born, where their parents were born, etc. Scroll down the list looking for a last name that looks similar to what you need. Remember it might start with a different letter (Hickson rather than Nickson, for example or Rammenam instead of Ammarman).

Similarly, you could search by last name only.

Or search with no names at all. Try searching all males born in 1844 (+/-5) in NY, living in Lebanon, MO. In this last case, Elija Pinkney was indexed as Eliza Priskrey.
