Notes:

*** Some data is only related to the Lophams in general.
At least 1 field must have an entry for the search to work.
Inappropriate entries may result in incorrect or no data being returned.
One useful strategy for finding what you require is to enter some appropriate criteria, view what appears, and, if too many or unwanted results are shown, select 'Change search values', alter the criteria to narrow the results and rerun the query.
Field notes:
1. Surname and forename - any string of 2 to 12 letters or spaces that are in any place within the surname field, useful if used when unsure of spellings of names - not case specific (see below for wildcards).

3. Year of birth - enter a number betweem 1600 and 2000 for the year of birth or leave blank to not consider year of birth - enter +/- from 0 to 10 to give year of birth span (if 0 or null it is ignored).

Wildcards - these are symbols that denote an unknown part of a string; % indicates 0, 1 or more characters and _ (underscore) a single character in a search. For example, using 'sm_th' will find smith and smyth. Also, remember that the chosen pattern of letters and wildcards can be anywhere in the field, eg: in surname, ST%L (or lower case) will find STarLing, conSTabLe, STeeLe, paSTaL, etc. Wildcards cannot be used in number or date fields.
