<DIV>Pat...what I meant by "buggy" was that if you do a search for a specific
name such as "Augusta Bullard" in the periodical section of Ancestry, you may
get a hit and bring up the edition in question and find a story that reads
<EM>"...last August a bull was stolen from the xyz stockyard".
</EM>There are search engines with OCR programs that are more discriminating
than Ancestry's is. Those of us who use the full Ancestry service are
aware of this little twist, but it's still often a disappointment when you find
several promising hits in the right time frame only to find that the search
engine spotted portions of words in proximity and reached an erroneous
conclusion! This is true whether you are doing a ranked search or a search
for a specific name...by the way, I did do specific name searches with various
of the given Bullard names before I resorted to a broader search.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But you are right...sometimes the stories are interesting even if it isn't
the person being sought. I got a kick out of the story about the good
reverend...brings a whole new meaning to the term "Bible thumping". And to
think that a fraternal order of Druids were cavorting on the banks of the
Willamette in the 1880's... Apparently there is nothing new about the "New
Age"!</DIV>
