Maurine, Certainly, you may pass the information on to the List. The only addition might be a preface warning that the BYU site is still new, little is available and the site will take a little bit of time to get used to. The information that the university was to handle the Family History Library in a start to digitize book holdings has been floating around on the Internet for some time. Last July, a contact sent me the < http://immigrants.byu.edu/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=4&tabid=4 > site as a link off of < http://www.byu.ed > at Brigham Young University. Finally a week or so ago, the full details available at < http://www.lib.byu.edu/ > started its rounds on various Lists. I've looked at it, I've played with it and I sent the information to an e-mail friend who spends more time on-line. The result from that contact was that you could get into the site, you could do some checking, there was a search "button" but little was available as yet and what was available then was not as potent information as we might want. See, I'm lazy....I let someone else figure out the site for me. I think it will be a great site, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow and maybe not for some months but everyone should know about the potential; maybe even Ortssippenbuch and Familienbuch which are out of date will become available on-line.....but again put a warning with your message that little should be expected immediately. djweber [email protected] Maurine, I just saw your second message. A forwarding is fine. Copy and Paste is usually little more, depending on your program, than the high-lighting of what you want to copy, up to Edit, click on copy, set up your other page, go to a spot where you want to drop the information, click on paste. ------------------------------ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maurine LeBlanc" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 2:17 PM Subject: [Ortenau] LDS Site > DJ, > > Today I received a email from the German Surname List announcing the > Mormon Church is digitizing books on line.
