What else you can try:[edit source]

Code example 1:

If you wish to use your own links in this section, use the following:

{{GR Can't find|
  Number of search links=1| 
  Search link 1=|
  Search link 2=| 
  Search link 3=| <-- Currently handles up to 5 Search links (need extension:variable to change)-->
 }}

Code example 2:

If you wish to use the predefined links in this section, only pass Location and Vital type:

{{GR Can't find|
  Location=Ohio|
  Vital type=Birth| 
}}
