	Never ............. and I found them little more than useless for me, as they often matched someone in my tree with another person of a completely different name, born in a different county, and sometimes even in a different century! The leaf tips on Ancestry are not much better!
	Researching: My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.
