Searching SBLHA
The search facility below is hosted by "Freefind". Due to our reliance on tables to order our data, it places a limitation on the effectiveness of search engines. For example, should you search for 'Barbara Dixon', the search engine will return all pages that have the words 'Barbara' and 'Dixon' on them, though not neccessarily linked! There is a great deal of material on our site and it may be effective to be more specific in your searches. For example, if you enter 'Barbara Dixon Baptisms' you are more likely to get the specific pages dealing with Baptisms and has a Barbara and a Dixon on it. The results list the items they have found, so the searcher can choose what is relevant.
When a search returns a page with a large amount of data, it is better to then use your browser's 'Find' facility to pick out the keywords you were searching for. There is also an index and a sitemap that may prove useful.
