Google Search Commands & Syntax ‣State searches ‣As in Michigan vs. MI vs. Mich. ‣Prior to the 2-letter state abbreviations (which began ~1963), longer abbreviations were used. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._state_abbreviations ‣Take Away (see next slide for results of my unscientific study): use tilda and full state name ~michigan which seems the most inclusive. Safest technique would be michigan OR mi OR “mich.” www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nycnygs/ www.dennisAhogan.com
