 I would welcome any tips for searching for my CHURCH family - I have quite a lot of info. but whenever I do a search I find I have too many results .....usually every Church in the area ! .......is there a way I can make it a surname and not in a religious context ?
I was looking for a Church family and came across the same problem. Try Googling (or other search engine) with: "Church family", with Christian name as in "William Church" or "Church + name of address."
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
