Adding a Firefox quick search to find the origin of a family name

If you use Firefox you can add a quick search to find the origin of a family name.

Here's how to set it up:

- Open Firefox
- Right-Click the Bookmarks toolbar at the top of the browser (underneath the web address bar)
- Click 'New Bookmark'
- Fill in the following values:

Name: Last Name Search
Location: http://lastnames.myheritage.com/last-name/%s
Keyword: lastname

- Click save, and then you are done.

To test it, type this in the address bar:
lastname jones

Hope it comes in handy!
