Want to find your name or photo, or that of a companion? Type a last name preferably or a first name into the search bar below. Or enter a full name and click on the [ab] icon to search only for an exact match. SUBMIT will search all of the photo captions and other text on this site. Please read the instructions below.
Instructions: Enter a name and press return. If you enter more than one word, such as a full name, click on the [ab] icon and the search engine will only look for exact matches of all the words.

The names of the page where the matches are found will then be shown in blue, followed by text showing possible matches from that page highlighted in yellow. Click on the blue page name; you will be taken to that page, and then the page will automatically scroll to the yellow-highlighted result, or it will turn pages in a publication. You will be shown the first result on that page. For pages where your name could appear more than once, such as on the Mission Photo Directory, you can scroll down the page, and you will see your name highlighted in yellow each place that it appears. NOTE: sometimes there is a delay before the page is scrolled or turned to the highlighted location. Just WAIT some seconds longer.

For Pages with Mission Newsletters: When you click on a search result that takes you to a newsletter, it may take a minute for all the pages to load. Wait, and then the pages will turn automatically until you reach the first page where the name is found. At that point, there will also be a button like the example at the left, in the upper right hand corner of your pages. It shows how many more times that name will appear. Click the right arrow to be taken to the next page. Click the left arrow to be taken to the previous page. Keep clicking until you are done. Then click the X to finish.
For pages with photo cards:

When you click on the blue page name, that page will be opened in a new tab, positioned at the top of the page. Then WAIT! It often takes a minute for all of the images on the page to load. If you wait, the system will eventually automatically scroll the page to the first highlighted result. From there, you can then scroll the page further to see additional search results on that page. They will be highlighted in yellow.

Once you have finished looking at the results on that page, you can click on the browser back arrow, to go back to seeing the other results of the search.
