So exciting!
Have you tried this with your John Williams, Geoff?
Thank you!! I just found a BIG clue that will likely help to tear down a brick wall! So glad I came across this today! Best thing since sliced bread!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!
I now have new hope for finding out more about Benjamin Green(e) Miller.
Thanks for sharing this information. I have been working with it today; this is going to be a very useful tool. However, I believe that we will need to check their transcriptions carefully.
It is great – many years Research analysis to do as a result
To me, this is the best thing to hit in a long time!
Wildcard * works also. Since the OCR isn’t 100% accurate, you will want to use search variations to maximize this. For example, I used thurs* to search for my Thurston/Thurstin family and it came up with a couple I wouldn’t have found otherwise. Combine that with something like +john +thurst* and you will get wider search results.
