This will look for "Bill" in both as part of the Given name, and also as part of the Also known as (other names a person is known by). It gets *both* in one swoop for you. This was the easiest and fastest I could find. Be sure to check the OR. "AND" won't work- AND will be looking for people that have "Bill" in their name and also in their AKA. * *Thank you. **Robert* *Genealogy without documentation is mythology!
