It is not necessary to fill in every field. Doing so, is
only recommended when the name or locality is very common.
When entering your search information, you can enter a whole name or just
the first few letters. For example, if your surname is
NOWAK, you can search by entering the
whole surname or by entering as many or as few letters as you want.
Entering
N, NO, NOW, NOWA or
NOWAK will all find the name
NOWAK, but the fewer letters you
enter, the longer the list and the longer it will take to search the
database.
