Searches for a "first name last name" combination on most newspaper sites doesn't really mean that the database has the names coded as "first names" and "last names." It usually means that the search is conducted so that the "first name" is within a fixed number of words or characters from the "last name."
A website would not let me search only for Mimka as a first name--which it is.
It wanted a last name and warned me that a last name was necessary.
So I simply put Mimka in the "last name" box and hit search.
Problem solved!
(I wish they were all that easy.)
