The PTB (powers that be) have asked me to investigate, and to start with I saw Halton Hills in Canada which has a multi database search. We would want something that could handle over a million names, and be adaptable for various entries, such as some reference to obits, some references to biographies, buildings, industries, and even scrapbooks which we have indexed. The underlying indexes at this [point are in Excel. They can be massaged and moved to whatever program or site could handle this. Any ideas? We know of evanced solutions and their genealogy products. Thanks!

It will indeed index scrapbooks, obits, newspapers and periodicals, display scanned images too. Our index using the Halinet software is at http://news.wilmette.lib.il.us/ if you want to test drive it a little.
