noticed that a relative whose records I had previously fouond in both, is
now listed in neither. Practically speaking, this suggests that if we
can't find individuals the first time around, it might pay to keep trying
every quarter or so.

Still, I find it odd. Anyone have any knowledge as to why this would
happen?

Michelle,

I have noted this happening since the first time I used the site. In
doing a surname or one name search sometimes the same people would not
show up a second time, or more people would show. Since we have some
problem with noise on the phone lines, I have a problem with getting
dumped once in a while, and that happened at that time, and when I went
back thru the same search, I noticed the change right away. I always do a
search several times in a week before figuring I have hopefully found or
not found what I wanted.
