Try to start your search broadly by typing only one or two words. For example, to find information on the Royal Fencible American Regiment, try entering only the word Fencible (uppercase or lower case...makes no difference). Also try the alternate spelling Fensible, to point #3 below!<BR><BR> 2. If you are searching for a person, you will have more success if you enter only the last name. Often given names are abbreviated (e.g., Joseph becomes Jos:) or omitted altogether.<BR><BR> 3. This search engine does not work on the Soundex method. (We are thinking of trying to develop one ourselves that will...). Try every variation in spelling you can think of, even for simple names. </p>  <P ALIGN="center"><FONT FACE="Arial"><IMG SRC="../graphics/spacer.gif" ALT="Spacer Image" WIDTH="301" HEIGHT="5"></FONT></p> <p><FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica" SIZE="3">Click here for ---> <A HREF="search.htm#searchtop">Top of Page</A></FONT></p> <P ALIGN="center"><FONT FACE="Arial"><IMG SRC="../graphics/spacer.gif" ALT="Spacer Image" WIDTH="301" HEIGHT="5"></FONT></p> <!**************END CONTENT //*****************> <!**************BEGIN FOOTER //*****************> <P ALIGN="center"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="-1"> <B>The On-Line Institute for Advanced Loyalist Studies</B> <BR> For information please contact <a href="mailto:n%6av%6f%6cun%74e%65r@%61%6f%6c.%63o%6d?subject=Loyalist%20Institute">Todd Braisted</a><BR> <BR> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">  </SCRIPT> <BR> <BR></p> <P ALIGN="center"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="-1"> <A HREF="fineprint.htm">Copyright Restrictions</A>    <A HREF="fineprint.htm#documents">Document Formatting</A>    <A HREF="fineprint.htm#technical">Optimal Viewing</A></p> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <!**************END FOOTER //*****************>  </body> </HTML>
