We perform an all-sky search for classical (type I) Cepheids that are members of Galactic Open Clusters. Our approach is multi-dimensional, using all available spatial and kinematic parameters. The quantification of errors is crucial for this analysis, so care is taken to find adequate and realistic representations of parameter uncertainties. The data employed in the calculation are taken from published catalogues and the literature, supplemented by specific radial-velocity observations. Our work in progress is outlined here, and issues related to the inhomogeneity of cluster radii in the literature are discussed in some detail.
