Pamz,

If you just put in the surname it works in that it gives you a list of all the people with that surname in alpabetical order by their first name as well as their dates (if you've input them). Admittedly it's a problem if you have lots of John Smiths - but then you'd have had that problem anyway.

PS Sylvia - I think GR should start paying you a salary for the work you do on these boards! :-)

no-one from GR looks at this board, and none of us members can answer your question.


email them and see what they say ..... it will take 3-5 business days to get a reply, and they don't work weekends.

Why on earth have genes done away with all the second names, now if you put in a search with the full name, it says 0 found, if you just put the first names there are too many to choose from a second name helps one separate one person from another; ludicrous if you ask me. WHY GENES REUNITED have you done this, its absolute madness.
