    google puts and automaticly between all words if you don´t put there other operator.
    instead of NOT google uses – (minus)
    OR works in google but you have to write it in capitals

    Google does not use NOT to exclude a term, it use ‘-’ instead. Different databases may use different term or symbol for an operation.

    Oh; this does not work on Google, does it? I tried Cherry AND Washington NOT George and I got a bunch of pages with George Washington, Cherry, And and Not.

    The ‘AND’ operator is add implicitly by most search engine, hence you don’t need to type it in when you do the search. As for ‘OR’ and ‘NOT’ operator, they may vary depends on different search engine. You may want to check on their help page to make sure.

    Do Boolean operators work on all search engines or do you need to have a specific type of computer?

Family Tree

Genealogical data can be represented in several formats, for example as a pedigree or ancestor chart. Family trees are often presented with the oldest generations at the top and the newer generations at the bottom. An ancestry chart, which is a tree showing the ancestors of an individual, will more closely resemble a tree in shape, being wider at the top than the bottom. In some ancestry charts, an individual appears on the left and his or her ancestors appear to the right. A descendancy chart, which depicts all the descendants of an individual will be narrowest at the top.
