I really like the search function here because you can easily put into the appropriate search box the first or last name of the spouse in as well as the first name you are searching, and it will search for couples. As I am sure you are likely aware, there is both correct and incorrect information in the database which is made up of gedcom files of people like yourself. So use anything you find with care. You will want to check for yourself information you find so as not to perpetuate errors. Too many people merely download the gedcoms of others, merge the information with their own and resubmit. Thus the same errors can be perpetuated over and over. Just because you find the information in several databases DOES NOT mean it is likely correct. It might be or it might not.
