	Found the same thing in reverse twice in the past week - one was a lookup for someone seeking a marriage of a Beellen (it was listed under Bullen), and again looking for a marriage of Ann Leech, found her under Luch - and the latter one was 1988 too, so it's not just the old records that have the problem!
