Example
I have a great website with lots of Bancroft family births, marriages, and deaths. I would love to have a list of all of the Bancrofts from any page on this website. This is how I can.

site:www.rays-place.com/town/ma bancroft

This will list each time Google finds a Bancroft on any page on this URL. There are multiple pages under this URL.

Each hit has the same website beginning: www.rays-place.com/town/ma ....

About Lianne Kruger

Genealogy

I researched my paternal grandmother's line to the first three white landowners of Canada in the 80's. I began genealogy going on genealogy trips in Ontario, England, and Scotland at graveyards with my mother starting at age 7 on. As a teenager, I sat in front of a microfilm reader with a list of names every Saturday at an FHL while my mother volunteered helping others.

I have spoken at Genealogical conferences and sessions at RootsTech (UT), FamilyRoots (UT), The Genealogy Show (in Birmingham, UK) as well as in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ogden, and Ontario.

I have articles published on BYU Studies Quarterly magazine website and FamilySearch as well as AGS Relatively Speaking and Tree Climber.
