then just go away and find the PERFECT site that will answer all your questions for you in one hit

Maybe you could try just his first and second names, and see what happens, then put a bit more info after that.
I think it,s a great site, I,m only new and finding my way with this. But have found the support people are great.
Keep perservering, and good luck

Welcome to FamilyTreeCircles larrymullinsgreshamor.
Which site are you talking about? Is it this one
Virginia, Find A Grave Index, 1607-2011

I learn't many years ago there are no Perfect sites. Perhaps you could tell us what you wish to know and a member of FamilyTreeCircles would be only too happy to try and help.

welcome larrymullinsgreshamor,
Nice to have you as a member.
Please do not take to heart the first comment, such sentiments are certainly not our policy. We pride ourselves in going out of our way to help everyone here with their queries.

I think I know what you mean about the search request as I have done the same thing myself a few times (this is just the way it is structured at this time). I found, just like highreward suggests, that the best results come from entering just one word at a time, eg Hubbard, and then see if there are any matches for what you want in the list, eg Elvra, or Virginia

Thank you for your suggestion of larger searches, it is noted as a later possibility and we look forward to hearing more from you

The way to find info would be , a question in post a journal:

''I'd like to request assistance in looking for James Elvra Hubbard believe to have been born in Virginia''

It would help to add some dates, birth death marriage etc, even if it is only a guess.

You already have one bit of info in janilye's post above.
