Tim, I do not see anything wrong with your search string. It matches what I have and am having no problem with it. I am not sure how findagrave reacts to a middle name vs middle initial. That is will findagrave find Mary Lou Johnson if the name entered is Mary L. Johnson.
I do know it works better if you add a location. Legacy does not provide for passing a location and it must be added as a refinement after you arrive at the site. I have asked that the list of variables be expanded to include location and spouse information. To date have not heard if it fell on deaf ears or not. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Rosenlof [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, August 13, 2011 11:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Find A Grave I'm having a hard time with the following string with the middle name. With middle name, most the time it will not find it, yet without it brings me a whole list of "all" the folks with that surname with no regard to the first name. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GSfn=[FirstName]&GSmn=[MiddleName]&GSln=[Surname]&GSbyrel=all&GSby=&GSdyrel=all&GSdy=&GScntry=0&GSst=0&GSgrid=&df=all&GSob=n Thoughts ?
