Computer aid!?!
///////////////////////////////

Today's browsers are great to help with general searches. Many places and software even load extra search toolbars into your browsers. But, for genealogy searches, don't stop with that. Become a student of search engines: Find out how you can narrow your search with different engines. Find at least one "engine" that searches more than one. Not used to doing computer searches? Go to ask.com - there you can use a regular sentence to search without being penalized for using words like "and" and "the". Also consider trying clusty.com - this search engine places your returns by subject. In this way, if you were to look for "Homer Simpson" all the cartoon stuff would be sorted out for you.
