I have been a susbcriber to Anecestry.com for several years. However,
I have not accessed it for the last five or six months.

It appears they have changed all of their serach engines. What is
worse, they don't work. If I put in Ludwig Weber, born 1882 in
Germany and died 1910 in Marion County, Illinois, all known facts,
what I get is a listing of Webers. Some named Paul, some born in
1912, some died in 1953, some born in France and some died in
Scotland. Apparently the search engine ignores any imput other than
the surname. Why bother filling out all the other boxes!

Am I doing something wrong. Are others having a problem? I don't see
how they can charge for a sereach program this crummy.

There are 2 display tabs on the Results screen.
The default is "Close matches".
The other tab is "Exact matches only".
