I have a Naturalization Record from Archives Canada but wanted to find "recap" on Family Search. I used the misspelled surname found on the record with first name Mollie Naftolen. Found almost 200 records for Mary with every surname under the sun but the one I was looking for. When I checked "exact" for first name, got no results, same too for surname. A record exists. How would I find it?

    Are you certain that the record is (a) indexed, and (b) on FamilySearch? Both are necessary-but-not-sufficient conditions for Search - Records to work (even disregarding the new-and-disimproved interface).

    I wouldn't know the answer to either.
