Hi Bobby, I put mine in the Media file and put a note that it is there in the burial information.

hello bobby often if you go far enough back tombstones is all you have or houses I always add them to the books .all my pictures are in files under the people's names so adding a tombstone or house is very easy to see. God Bless Christine

I save all of my photos in the Picture directory using the number assigned by BK. For example, I am #260 in my file so my photos are saved as 260a.jpg, 260b.jpg and so on. The only difference in headstone photos is the addition of "hs" behind the number; i.e. 1064hs.jpg In older generations where photos of people are not available, the headstone is a nice substitute, and yes, I print them on all reports.

Hi Bobby, I attach the picture to a source record and have a directory called tombstones under my picture directory. Every picture is labeled with the number of the person and -tombstone. I will attach some to the people if it is an important person. I would like to see bk have an option of printing the picture from the source so I wouldn't have to add it a second time or to automatically put it in the pictures if a picture is added to a source.

Does anyone store tombstone photos with individuals in BK6? If so, do you have a photo naming convention to keep them separate from the individual and family photos? And do you print them in book reports? Bobby Richardson

To John Cullom I started the program (it was called Family at first) in about 1984 and I changed the name to Brother's Keeper in about 1988 John Steed ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Cullom Sr" <jhcullom@comcast.net> To: <bk@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, August 19, 2012 8:42 PM Subject: [BK] John Steed > John, How long has BK been available?

I agree too :-) Thanks John Margaret in Oz From: Stafford MacSwain Been with BK since the early DOS days and I agree, John has always been great to respond and always has the answer. Stafford

As one of "the choir" I, too, am a delighted BK user since 1994 with no thoughts of changing now or at any time in the forseeable future. And I preach the virtues of BK at every opportunity in the Brit-Gen Forum in which I am an active member. I have also persuaded a few family members and friends to use it too. However, one friend just didn't take my recommendation and did his own research and opted for another programme because, on the face of it, he thought it "looked" more appealing. Now that he fully realises he has to pay great amounts for upgrades he is beginning to regret his decision. A few days ago I answered his question "tell me more about Brother's Keeper". I don't know whether I persuaded him to join "the choir" but I certainly gave him our "hymn sheet". All the best and thank you John for a wonderful programme and for your support.

But what you say is what has mainly kept me with BK - the thought that the support is unlikely to be as good with _any_ competing product. -- J. P. Gilliver.

I have ben using version 5 since about 1994, BK5b for DOS and BK5g for Windows 3.1, choosing it over PAF because of the excellent reports.

John, How long has BK been available? I've been a satisfied user since about 1988. I've sampled other programs but have never been tempted to change. John Cullom, Westminster, Maryland, USA

I agree. I couldn't be more pleased. My reports are easier to read than what my friends produce. Lib Gordon

Just in case you folks out there don't realize it, our BK support/vendor/software manager/and all around good guy, John Steed is the best. He successfully led me through something very basic and did so successfully. My success was being able to follow his very lucid explanations and guidance. Thanks John.
