X 7.1 WORLD WIDE REGISTRY SEARCH ENGINE
X
*THE FIRST SEARCH BOX - http://adoptionsearching.com/dejaform.html
The first search box is for our online database search. It’s a free-
form search with entries separated by spaces.
*DATES
/67
will all find entries containing a slash followed by a six and a seven
/67 gra
will search for all the entries containing /67 and words like gray,
gravy, etc.
Dates are supposed to be entered as M/D/YY. Like 5/1/67, but, the
database is not perfect, it is has evolved over many years, people used
to enter the dates in their own format, so try alternative formats.
Instead of searching on 5/1/67 - a better strategy is 5/ 1/ /67 -- note
the space in between this will catch entries like 05/01/67.
*AUTOMATIC EMAIL REDIRECION FOR CONFIDENTIAL ENTRIES

auto-responder program that answers our email will automatically

The remain search boxes are filtered searches of our newsgroup archive
designed to extract search related postings.
