Family Tree & Family History at Geni.com 1901 Census of England and Wales Online Genealogy Search & Family History Records Broad Name Search Begin by searching the website for your family records using broad queries. Remember, less is often times more. Note that using both first and last name search fields will return genealogy records in which the surname is automatically "near2" the first name. "Near2" means our genealogy search engine automatically finds occurrences of the first and last names within two words of each other. This search default brings you the most record matches containing the family member name you are searching for in our online archives. Common Ancestor Names If your ancestor's surname is popular, like Smith, try using some of the available search options (such as location, date range, and keyword), in order to narrow your family search to the specific Smith you are looking for (see below). If your family member has a surname that is also a common word (like Brown, Snow, etc.), put quotation marks around the entire name. Example: "John Snow" Examples: "Snow, John" "John Joseph Snow" "J J Snow"
