<span style="line-height: 1.5;">Using the FamilySearch Genealogy Database:</span>
* <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif;">When using the search form at http://www.familysearch.org one must use great care, as the dates and spellings for these genealogical records are often modernized and sometimes have errors. </span>
* <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif;">The IGI Parish Records search, a tool created by Edelweiss Herald, limits the search to records that have transcribed directly from parish records and other official documents. As such, data from that source is a reasonable source for documentation (however the database was changed in 2012 and the Edelweiss search tool no longer works).</span>
* <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif;">If using the IGI search directly from the familysearch.org site, you must make sure that the batch number indicates that the records are from an extraction program and that the source of the records is acceptable. A description of the batch numbers can be found at https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/IGI_Batch_Number_Descriptions. </span>
* <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif;">In general, batches beginning with B (as of January 2014), C, J, K, M (except M17 and M18), or P are acceptable. When citing an IGI record be sure to include the batch number.</span>

Wild Card for searches:
*A search with a percent sign between two groups of letters will find anything where the "string" to the left of the percent sign is followed by any number of characters and then by the "string" to the right.
*For example, x%jac will pull up three records for "Alexandra Jacobsdochter" and one for "Pollux Jacob Gemini".
*That strongly suggests that the search is via a database query with a LIKE clause. I would infer that the text you enter is put between % before the query.
*In a place where % works, you might try _.  In SQL LIKE clauses, that matches one character.  That is, in terms of UNIX-like regular expressions,
** % is .*
** _ is . (For example, Dan_t d_ Li__col_)
