I doubt it; Free sites are often run by people that are interested in accuracy. Pay sites are normally run by people interested in profit. The two things tend to be mutually exclusive, given that accuracy takes time and therefore, money to produce.

With Irfanview, and I suspect other image programs, you can highlight the image using the built in drawing tools and then print/save it to a PDF file with the area highlighted. Using Adobe X, you can add comments to Image PDF's. Once the comment is created, an icon appears in the document/image for the comment at the point you want to remember (replaces your pencil stars).

Pay per month is way more accurate than free. Also, in this case, I agree with the crowd, in that it seems somewhat unethical to be tired of "pay per month" websites when you will be charging money for family tree classes on your website.

Hi All, The marker in question is here and contains an acronym of C.M.C. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=62755522 With google I find : Command Master Chief, Certified Master Chef, Certified Mortgage Consultant, Chairman of the Military Committee, Colour Measurement Committee, Central Message Controller, Construction Mechanic Chief, Certified Master Coach, and Capital Management Committee. I guess I am assuming that CMC is a job ? My guess is that the others in the list are too modern for this person who died in Scotland in 1940. Thank you for any replies, comments, or advice.
