You are welcome. Glad it worked for you. The bit on POST and GET was for the techno curious, and I fully expect 99.9% of LUGers will ignore it. And that will not impact the quality of their lives in the least. Well, perhaps it might help solve sleeping troubles. Really, what's important is the list of parameters at the end of the URL. That is known as the 'query string', and in a GET is is part of the URL (as seen in the directions), but with a POST they do not get appended to the URL (as in FindMyPast). The goal then is to find out how to ferret out the query string when it's not appended to the URL. (Obviously the values you enter in a search form have to been sent somehow, right!?) Well, that's where tools like FireBug come in. They show you the raw requests and responses that are exchanged between your browser and the server(s) out there in the WWW. You can look at the requests and copy the query strings you need from there. If you wanted to learn something new, I'd suggest learning how to use FireBug to ferret out this information. Still, it's easier, and I think especially in a fringe case such as this, to just ask someone to ferret it out for you. I shared the info thinking there are enough techno savvy folks that would want to know how to do it themselves - perhaps even support at Millennia who should have been able to answer your question right away. But, as long as a handful know how to do it, the LUG will be able to help those out who have more than enough genealogy TODOs they don't need to add this to their list too.
