Member Since: December 2006 Posts: 17 Send Message	Is there any way a database/spreadsheet can be used for the Trying To Find of particular surnames in specific countries postings? I think this is a supurb idea but very time consuming going through them all. Maybe GR can set up a link eg: Click on Ireland- click on Cork - type in the family names you are looking for...? By the way I'm looking for Ireland - Cork - Williams/Ludgate Families.

If you opt to search just the "trying to find" board (some way down the search page) and in the top box (keyword) put Williams AND Cork then you get 17 posts (unfortunately some of these are William's with no punctuation!)
