Hi, i can never seem to find what i'm looking for,lol. It either brings up nothing at all or says i choose to to few stars well it set at 5 stars. Even when i put in a full name,place of birth,age and quarter it still seems to throw everything else first then the one i want on the next page. Any tips will be helpful.Thank You .Tina

You are obviously not choosing the 'exact search' option..........try that, and see what happens. Reg

If you use the 'exact matches only' option, the results don't get rated with stars. You need to make sure you tick this box before searching. What is it you are searching for because the only place you can enter a quarter for search purposes is on the Births, deaths or marriages. Sam x
