Dear All,

I use Mozilla Firefox as my preferred search engine.

If i put a new person into my tree,it will remember the Christian name,Middle name,Surname,Birth Date,Christening Date etc etc.

However,when i do a surname search in the Search Tree section,it does not remember it.

Has anyone else had this as a problem recently??

Kind regards
Merv

I have just searched My Tree for me: First Name, Surname, YOB. It found me.
Did the same for my father. It found him.
Then I just put in my Surname, and all folk with that Surname were returned.
So Search Tree works for my tree.
