I wasn't asked for an email address.

Worked fine for me in Mozilla, a bit slow but that is probably due to
time of day and it being busy.

I agree with you there. I'm looking for one particular person for
whom there are 22 different spellings of the surname. The ability to
use wild cards would be handy, especially as I don't know when between
1875 (when he was born) and 1910 (when he appears on the census) he
actually arrived in America, nor which port, nor which ship. Needles
and haystacks come to mind!! <G>

It is a handy resource though.
