Hello Pat
Here is a sample of a simple search for a marriage Bond:
Click on Select Database: Marriage Bonds
Enter in block name e.g. SMITH
Click on OK
You will then see any "hits" with years and Diocese (e.g. Llandaff)
and "Dynion" or "Merched".
Dynion - Male names, Merched - female names
Click on the entry you want and that page will open listing all the
names A-Z. Scroll down or "find" until you get to John SMITH.
Once you are comfortable with the system you can refine the search
parameters by entering other details in the search request. E.g.
John SMITH "in the same paragraph as" Mary
(I find that less is best and just stick to asking for a specific
name without adding further details).

Can some one explain how this site is used? I am a bit confused by
it. What should I put in to find something...anything?
