Search Tips:  
Start with a few letters of the "last name".  
Don't worry about being specific about the "years" or the "county".  
If any certificates are found, you will get a new scrollable window with those records.  The characters of your "last name" you entered will be highlighted.  
If you get too many records, then first try sorting on one of the columns by simply clicking on the column-heading button.

Sorting on the "father" or the "mother" columns is a great way to group certificates by parent.

Sorting on the "born" or the "died" columns helps to find your record by year. 

Your initial listing of records will start you on the page where your "last name" first occurs in the actual "last name" column.  This happens when you include searching the "father" and the "mother" fields on common name occurrences like "SMITH". 
Some last names can be spelled "MC  DONNELL" with a space after the "MC" while others can be spelled "MCDONNELL" with no spaces.  Try both. 
Some last names can be spelled wrong.  "GONZALES" could also be "GONZALEZ".  Try both or shorten your spelling search to "GONZ".  You will get many more records with "GONZ" but any spelling errors will be included in your records.
