How to search name Bench

ShirleyWeidner1

My maiden name is Bench. Whenever I do a search I get the judges bench or the Wasatch Front Bench. How can I show it is a surname?

If you are talking about searches on the FamilySearch website, see my test search at https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results?exactSearching=true&q.anyDate.from=1890&q.anyDate.to=1900&q.anyPlace=utah&q.anyPlace.exact=on&q.givenName=john&q.givenName.exact=on&q.surname=bench&q.surname.exact=on.

Here is an extract from the page produced in looking for a John Bench at Utah in the 1890-1900 period:

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

I am somewhat confused, with your post, I do not quite understand ...

Question: Where exactly are you "Searching"?

▬ In the "Search" Records, in 'FamilySearch'; or,

▬ In the "Find" (ie. an individual/person), in "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch'; or,

▬ Somewhere else

Can you please advise.

I just did a "Search" in BOTH, the "Search" Records, in 'FamilySearch'; and, the "Find" (ie. an individual/person), in "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch', getting results in BOTH, nothing like you describe.

Just curious.
