Surname Interests Matching
« on: Monday 28 July 08 09:00 BST (UK) »
Just an idea, and I don't know how difficult this might be to implement since I have no background in writing computer programs.

It would be wonderful if when we look at our surname interests, that we had the option to see the results in a "table" format, each area separated in boxes. Results able to be ordered by surname and/or county.

It's difficult to scan the entries as they are for possible matches, especially when the surname is a very common one.

Thank you for your consideration.  :)
Evans: Gwaenynog, Llanfair Caereinion, Montgomery, Wales (1700s); Rock, Worcester & Kidderminster WOR, Cirencester GLS, Aston, Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield, Perry Barr, and Handsworth.
Thompson, Eaton, Cox, Allin: Oxford OXF, late 1700s onward.

Hi NedraE,

Welcome to RootsChat :)

Are you referring to the names in members' signatures,

or do you mean a different output format for the Surname Interests Table
(see link at bottom of every page

You can search by name and county there, but maybe you are thinking of something else ? :)

regards,
Bob
