Lyceum Course - Internet Genealogy - Searching
- A Data Base Search - The Embree Case - Using a Form Page
- Let's Return to the "Indiana Marriages Through 1850 Link"
Indiana State Library - Genealogy Database: Marriages through 1850
- Let's Enter: "Embree" in the Last Name and "Gibson" in the County of Marriage then Click - "Search"
Search Engine Returns a Page of Results -
- Might There Be Other Possible Spellings of Embree?
- Let's Relax the Search - Enter: "Em" in the "Last Name" field and "Gibson" in the "County of Marriage" field
A Good Strategy When Search Engine Allows It
- If Instead We Were Looking for William whose Last Name is Hard to Spell - Could We?
Enter: "William" in the "First Name" and "Gibson" in the County of Marriage and then Click Search
- Note Well: Forms Don't Always Have to Be Filled In in Their Entirety
This Depends Upon the Capability of the Search Engine Which Does the Search
- Pick the William Embree m. Elizabeth Woods
Presumeably These Are the Persons of Interest
