This was just sent to me by a county genealogy mailing list I belong to. Tried a few names, got something similar to what you'd find if you googled, but with a different look. Thought I'd pass it on to anyone who else who might want to tinker with it

I haven't had much luck with Mocavo. I've tried putting quotation marks around the name, but I'm not very satisfied with the results. Does anyone have any ideas that might help me?

I just tried it and got no hits on several names that I know are on several genealogy sites.

I found a lot of posts from Rootsweb when it was entirely free and Ancestry (which swallowed up Rootsweb) and also different bulletin boards -- all which I put up looking for 1 elusive birth record. I put these up looking for info and only posting what the family knew. These are NOT cited. So, don't go there assuming you get CITED VALID DATA. You are getting other people's posts.
