Hi Jim,
I had the same problem with the site a while back. It was completely down for a week or so a few weeks ago for a "tune up".
Go to:
http://ajax.lva.lib.va.us/F/?func=file&file_name=find-b-clas10&local_base=CLAS10
Try the top search: "Type word or phrase". I get 21 "Funks" using that method.
A first and last name search will do the trick only if I use "Words adjacent?"...and click yes.
