I am adopted and am trying to find my birthparents. I know my mother was married in 1981 and divorced in 1982. I copied and pasted all the marriage record names from 1981 into one column and all the divorce records for 1982 in another column. I need to find a match and that should tell me who she is. However the formats are different.
ADEN;JERRY LEE VS ADEN;KAREN MARIE GEYER (this is how the divorce records name looks)
AMAYA,SABAS OMAR (this is the format of the marriage records. The females names are in a seperate column)
How do I match up the last names with out have to "FIND" each last name and compare the columns? I hope I'm making sense. Let me know if I need to upload the spreadsheet.
