Here is a paragraph from the help files that may be of interest.
“List of Available [Fields] Here is a list of the [fields] that you can use in your search strings in order to pass individual pieces of information about the person you are searching for. Please notice that there are no spaces anywhere in these field names. Also, the capitalization of any letter in the field name does not matter. [Surname] is the same as [surname] or [SURNAME] or [SuRnAmE]. We use mixed case because it is much easier to make out field names that have more than one word. [GivenNames] [FirstName] [MiddleName] [Surname] [WholeName] [BirthDate] [BirthDate_DMY] [BirthYear] [DeathDate] [DeathDate_DMY] [DeathYear] [StartYear] [EndYear]” Bobby From: Jay Wilpolt [mailto:jaywilp...@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2015 1:40 PM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Search string for Ancestry I am trying to fine tune my Customized Search from Legacy for Ancestry.com When you are doing a search from an Ancestry page and the Spouse Surname is part of the search request, the resulting URL contains &mssns0=[SpouseSurname] but if I add that info my Legacy Customized search, It doesnt seem to recognized the [SpouseSurname] as a variable?
