Hello again That works beautifully. However I am posting the search string again without the hyperlink as the underscores were not clearly stated for other readers of this posting (all on one line):
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/all-records/results?forename=elizabeth&surname=reynolds&fromYear=1731&toYear=1807&Region=UK&_includeSurnameVariants=on&_includeForenameVariants=on&Search=Search Thanks once again, Jemima -----Original Message----- From: James Cook [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 05 October 2012 16:11 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] FindMyPast Customised Search URL please The search string I see is (all on one line in the event posting breaks it apart): http://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/all-records/results?forename=John&surname=Smith&fromYear=1900&toYear=1960&Region=UK&_includeSurnameVariants=on&_includeForenameVariants=on&Search=Search So, you would need to use UK. Looking at the markup, the quoted strings beside value="..." are the other options you could try as well... <option value="UK">Britain</option> <option value="United States,Australasia,Ireland">All (excluding Britain)</option> <option value="United States">United States</option> <option value="Australasia">Australia / New Zealand</option> <option value="Ireland">Ireland</option> On Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at 8:43 AM, ArdenholmeGenealogy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone > > I have found this URL from the LegacyUserGroup > archives: > http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacy > users.com/msg10541.html and as FindMyPast.co.uk have just recently > added on a new field - Region - where we select which country we want > to search. > > Is it possible to add on to the end of the current URL like this: > > http://www.findmypast.co.uk/XdbSearchCountServlet? > forename=[FirstName]&surname=[SurName]&includeFore > nameVariants=Y&fromYear=[StartYear]&toYear=[EndYea > r]&Region=Britain -- James Cook GED Utils, Ancestry Utils http://loosestacks.blogspot.com/ Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
