TO BEGIN A SEARCH:
Type into the text box the search terms (word or words) you are looking for and then click the SEARCH button. The program will find all records that include all of the words you have entered. You can broaden your search by using fewer search terms, or narrow your search by using more search terms.
Some examples:
a. Ansonia
b. Ansonia Clock
c. Ansonia China Clock
d. Ansonia China Figural Clock
Tip: Entering the plural form of a word, such as "clocks", will find only the records that contain the word "clocks". Entering the singular form of a word plus an asterisk, such as "clock*", will find all records containing the singular form "clock" as well as the plural form "clocks". This is known as a wildcard search and is also good when you don't know the correct spelling of a word. For better search results, use the singular form of the word plus the asterisk.
