Interesting problem. We had a similar issue with a scrapbook that was kept by my husband's grandfather - our problem was mostly solved when the book itself fell apart and we had no choice but to scan the things that were in it (almost all of the items were newspaper clippings). There are programs out there that will let you set up a scrapbook-type page with photos and other scanned images, and that might be better than trying to keep all of the originals with the scrapbook pages. My concern is that the rust that's already on the pages due to the staples would migrate to anything stored with those pages. But with a program that would allow you to recreate the look of the scrapbook would be a good way to preserve the essence of the book. You could then store the pages separately from the items that had been attached to them. You might also want to check to see if there are any scrapbooking or paper preservation newsgroups - the people there might have better solutions for your problem.

I have a marriage record for Mary HANVEY (or maybe it's HARVEY, handwriting is iffy; county clerk says it's HANEY) in 1862 in Frederick co. Virginia. The groom's father is given, not his mother, and for her parents it says Unknown. In 1885 I have a death record for her under her married name, giving her father as William HANBY, and her mother as M.; informant is her brother William. It says she was 45 and born in VA. Problem is ... Using HQ and local GenWeb resources, I can't find a William Ha* who fits the stated facts on the death certificate. I've looked at HANVEY, HARVEY, HANEY/HANY, HANVY, HANBY, and HANLEY. I've looked at all the William and Wm entries ... Could some of you have a look-see at Ancestry and see if you can spot them? They OUGHT to be in Shenandoah, Frederick or Loudoun counties VA or in Hampshire, Berkeley, or Jefferson counties WV. They COULD be anywhere in the US. Citation only, no need to send the image. Many many thanks! Cheryl

However, amy I suggest that before you install it, you make copies of your ver 9 files in a separate folder where FTM won't find them and automatically convert them to the 2008 system. That way, should you find yourself among the ones who don't like it, you can still use your old version. If files get read into 2008, they're saved as such and the only way to go backwards is to make gedcoms. Lesley Robertson

I will second that although I've been using it since the DOS version 1. I've used other programs as well but TMG does everything I want or need it to and then some. Their tech support is outstanding. You can download a full trial version on their website at www.whollygenes.com which is good for 30 days. You can try it out and see if it works for you. You might want to put it in beginner mode to get used to it (some of the more advanced features won't be accessible there but it's a good way to learn the basics of the program). You can then put it in advanced mode to try out some of the other features. Pam http://www.pamsgenealogy.net

Has anyone here used Master Genealogist software? I have FTM 2008 but I don't like it. I have found myself using the 2006 over the 2008 version. I am looking for another genealogy software package besides FTM. Thanks for any suggestions, Roger Lester

Hi, I have a problem with a project that I started and don't know how to finish.. I want to do the right thing but I am not sure what the right thing is. The project involves a scrapbook that belonged to my mother from the early 60's. This scrapbook contains a lot of photos, some movie ticket stubs and a few newspaper clippings. Alot of the photos are attached to the pages with small staples, some of the photos that were attached at one time have fallen off as well as the movie theater tickets and newspaper clippings. I was wondering what is the best way to approach this. I already scanned each page that has pictures on it as is and saved the images in tif format.. But now what should I do with the loose pictures and other items, Should I reattach them and then scan or should I take all of the pictures off the pages and then reattach everything in a way that will preserve them safely. I was thinking acid free mylar film for everything but I am not sure.. I want to keep everything in the original scrapbook, but the staples are issue. I can see what seems to be rust spots forming around them. Please help. I want to finish this and put it away in a safe place. Thank you, Michelle
