Jim It would also be helpful to allow wildcards like many search tools incorporate.
For example if I wanted to search for all births with names starting with MAC it would be nice to do something like: Surname: MAC* or even just MAC Type: Birth Wildcards would be helpful when there are many variations for the spelling of a name.

I just searched for “Birth”. The first name listed is ABERCORN. Then I put in surname ABERCORN and did a search. It found no results.

Without success unless I enter a Surname which presently does not exist in the database. Can anyone give me an example of a Surname which does exist but will not show on a Surname ONLY search?

Can't enter just a surname, Result- Blank return. However, If you leave the Firstname and Surname fields blank, and select Type: "Birth", etc., it will display a list of names. This is counter intuitive. I would not release this like it is.

While it is a HUGE project which may never get completed, unless a lot more volunteers come forward, it most certainly will be very useful going forward. It will allow users to "narrow" the search in seconds compared to our current "Google-type" search method. The professional programmer and I have over 7,700 records in a "test" database. We'd like you to give it a look, try it out AND report back to me "off list" at jamck...@gmail.cm with any comments you wish to make......... remember there is no such thing as an unwanted comment. Go here - http://test.cotyroneireland.com/names.php In the next few weeks, we'll do some final fine-tuning before releasing it to the general public,.
