Getting the most out of Surname Search
Yesterday I posted news about IGSI's "Surname Search" feature being re-launched. Perhaps, like me, you weren't able to pull up details about who was researching the surname in which you're interested?
Our website guru, Bob Z, provided the following helpful instructions:
To find specific surname information, enter the surname in the surname box; if you are searching for the surname in a specific Irish or US location, enter them in the appropriate boxes. Then click apply. This will bring up a display of all surnames that meet the criteria that you entered.
If you wish to find out the specifics of a particular member, click on the Surname for that particular row. Then you will see a display of the member, his/her name, address, and phone number (if he/she has entered a phone number), email address (if he/she has entered one), and all surnames that the member has listed.
If you click on the member name, you will get a "not authorized" message.
Remember, you have to be an IGSI member to access this data!
And, admittedly, the member contact details might not be current.
