This is the best uk site I have been on,but I can't find a soundex option at all and worry about the varient spellings of my surnames.For example;On my tree my Tafes are spelt TAFE but it has been spelt in at least 3 other ways on different documents etc.So how would someone link up with my tree if they are using another spelling?

A lot of us try out the different options with the search facility but all the matches for that surname come back not just the ones added recently I keep a copy of all the names and check against them to see which new ones have been added
