But you can use "Mary or Polly" (without the quotes) and either one will be found in a RootsWeb search. I haven't been successful in searching on AKA's there though. Has anyone else had luck with that? The "or" solution only works for given names, however. My recollection is that I tried it some years back with varying surname spellings and only got "hits" when entering both variations including the "or"--not by searching on one or the other.

One would have to search for (Polly) and the facility which Legacy has for using as names the ones in inverted commas would not work either.
