	I'd like to be able to search by birth date . . .

	We used to be able to search second names too. .... Very useful with names such as Jane JONES in a tree. That facility went in one of the updates. Gwyn

	Of course another idea would be to ditch the adverts that are currently taking between 10 and 20 seconds to load the page. I bet thats one of the reasons the boards are so slow.
