RootsChat Surname Interests Table (SIT)

Search the Surname Interests Table

To search the SIT at least one of the fields must be filled To use the 'Region' field, you must choose a country first.
Surname Interest: (Max. 25 Chars.)
Country:
Region: (County, State, Territory, etc)
Place: (Max. 40 Chars.)	e.g. Town, Village or Parish
Comments: (Max. 40 Chars.)	e.g. Arthur, after 1891, or before 1850, etc.
Entries in Place and Comment fields are case-sensitive (I'm still working on this !)

Wild cards are allowed in the Surname, Place and Comment fields

'_' is used for single characters, '*' for several characters

e.g. - jon* will show JONES, JONSON, JONQUIL etc.
   - *one* will show any name with 'ONE' somewhere within the name
   - _ones will show JONES, BONES et
   - *ones will show any names ending in ONES, e.g. JONES, CALHONES, etc

TIP:
If you are interested in a particular county, just enter that county and click on \"Search .. \" You can then narrow it down using a surname or place search.

PLEASE NOTE:
In Versions 1 and 2 of the SIT you could only enter a surname and a comment text. So any additional information was in the comment text.
Any older entries, which haven't been edited to take advantage of the new features can only be searched on the Surname and Comment fields

So you will probably need to search for any name at least twice:
1) just the Surname and/or Comment field,
2) using at least one of any of the fields.
