for searching and getting more from Archive CD Books products

• update to version 6 or later of Adobe Reader at www.adobe.com for the best searching capability. • enter the MINIMUM number of characters needed to bring up the search results required • use Adobe Reader to do some trial searches to try to identify the characters that may be misread. These can show up in the extra text in the search results list. A few minutes trial will help you to avoid using characters that are more prone to being misread, e.g. try entering "rederi" if you want "Frederick", but find that the letters "F" "c" and "k" are sometimes misread. • use the "Match whole word" option to eliminate unnecessary items in your results list, e.g. to eliminate all the blacksmiths and tinsmiths etc when you only want the name Smith • use the "Match case" option when you want to eliminate all the occupations "smith" if you only want the name "Smith" • Don’t just search for names. Search the book for other names, places and subjects of interest: • look for others of the same name • look for others who lived in the same place or street • who was the postmaster or police officer in the town? • how often and at what time did the coach arrive in town? • what churches were there and what time were services held? • what other activities were there in the community? • look for others who had the same occupation or other interests All of this and more may be available in a seemingly mundane book such as a directory. Learn much of the background of life at the time, even if your ancestor is not listed there.
