[Genealib] Genealogical cross-references?

[Laura Spurrier]

Hi:
	My library has a web-based online catalog at the beta stage.  The  
software we purchased, Surpass, was written for school libraries and  
came loaded with subject cross-refs that were inappropriate for us;  
they were removed.  Is it possible to beg or buy a file of genealogy- 
oriented cross-references?  I'm interested in "Vital records" see  
"Registers of births," "Smyth family" see "Smith family" and that  
sort of thing.  We have a Perl-MARC programmer who can remove any  
blind leads.

	BTW, we seem to be Surpass's first genealogy library client.  We're  
having to educate them to our needs but they're very cooperative, and  
I have no hesitation recommending their software for a small library.
