Pat,

I'm not sure what the problem might be. I have only searched on surnames
in RI (which is mostly my own contributions anyway) and PA. My searches
got results. The only thing I can think of is that the material hasn't
been re-indexed and that's affecting it. If you try again next weekend
and still have problems please let me know.

In the meantime, if I find anything out I'll let you, and the others on
the mailing list know.

By the way, you may find that you can't get to the search engine during
"prime time" for a few days because it's so popular the server can't yet
handle it. Brian Leverich is working on getting everything configured so
the servers can share the load.

Good luck with your research.
