Hi Shannon and all list members, Thanks for the idea Shannon. I'd like to do that, but is there a particular web page that we can scan a photo to .... for viewing by list members? I'm quite certain that Rootsweb won't allow attachments and I don't know how else to do it. I have a web page that I haven't done anything with in 3 or 4 years.....too busy researching. If that's the best place to post it let me know.
