[QUOTE="witzend, post: 612258, member: 99"] TR, in our family we have some VERY common names, too. You'd be surprised how many ways there are to spell some very common names. With husband, I found someone who has his first, middle (which is spelled in an unusal way) and last name born the same exact date as him a thousand miles away. on the other hand, I couldn't find hubby. The cool thing about it is that once someone has entered someone on the tree, you can hook into their info. So for example, if you can find the right "John Jones", then you find his wife and their children. From his wife you'll find their marriage certificate and from that you get birth info. Then you know who their parents are and you go from there. It's just lots of little clues. [/QUOTE]
