Thread Name: Finding Child Ballads in Database?
Subject: RE: Finding Child Ballads in Database?
If you know the child number, search for that with the #sign, such as #200 for Gypsy Davy. Since Child numbered 305 ballads, the first 305 numbers are his. After that we added common songs and the Laws collection in no particular order, so useful only after you have found a song and want its relatives.

If you dod not know the number, search as usual, by title or phrase.
