Hi Lindz,

You need to key in just the surname and then a year. This will then produce all the pages containing that surname for the year. Open each page and then look through it.

I don't put in the first name as sometimes a person is added by hand at the bottom of the page. They then become the last name on the page rather then the real last person. Sorry, convoluted. Eg, if John Smith is the last person typed on the page and then Alfred Smith is added by hand Alfred becomes the last person instead of John.

This can also disrupt the surnames so if a page is not reported for your name in a qtr you may need to search around your surname to get it to appear. Eg if Johnson was your name and does not get a result try searching for Johns etc.
