Hi Trish,
Yes, both surnames appeared in the index, so there were two surname columns in the search results.
If the person had more than two surnames listed on their death certificate (such as someone who had married twice or more), then they appeared twice (or more) in the search results, had you sought only the one surname in your search criteria.
All the best,

Re: Scotlands People
Thanks Andrew - I'll check out the issues being addressed and see if this gets a mention. I thought that was the case - but so easy to forget.

Then you can scroll more quickly looking for duplicate RDName records, and check that the Ref is the same and that should give you the two names listed one after the other.
Certainly makes it easier when searching through ten pages of names!!! and will allow you to find the records until they sort their logic in the code.
John
this makes things a bit easier till they get it sorted.Hope you are well. Best wishes,
