[Cz-L] FW: www.GenTeam.at - Austria´s largest genealogical database

With the close connection of Bukowina's residents to the capital city of
the Austrian Empire, Wien / Vienna, I thought that some of our list
members would be interested in this genealogical resource which includes
several exclusively Jewish databases. Read on!

>1. Auto-complete Function When Inquiring The Databases
>
>
>
>We all know the problems of phonetically written variants of surnames (and
>are very familiar with typing mistakes in databases) which are often
>cumbersome and hard to overcome.
>
>GenTeam has installed the Auto-Complete Function which works independently
>of search keywords like: "is the same", "begins with" and the
>standard-function "contains". If a search contains 3 letters of a
>surname,
>a window opens with all names in which the three letters are contained.
>If
>you add a fourth letter, the number of names are reduced to the names in
>which these four letters are contained, and so forth. Therefore, one can
>recognize and chose easily phonetic-similar names.
>
>This function was also installed for given names as well as for indices of
>places.
