	We shall all be happier if these make Hot Matches easier to navigate! BUT this will start off again the arguments about place of birth. When researching we get the birthplace name from so many different sources registration records, censuses, family memories - and particularly on the census this can vary from town to village to parish, with othe registration district often beiong a long way away. If these are to be included the only relatively safe way is to do the Ancestry way of putting all even faintly possible matches in order of likelihood - which can produce a list of hundreds!
