Thanks Sandra, my problem is the fact that my sight is non-existent, the image could be blown up so that each letter was 5 feet high, but I still wouldn't be able to see it. Hence the reason for me being totally reliant on transcriptions. Obviously I'm going to need some sighted assistance in finding this record of George Parsons. thanks for your help once again, Kindest regards, Jon -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Jon, I am so sorry, I didnt realise that your sight was non-existant. You are to be congratulated though, in following your pursuits in this way, and if I can help at all I would be only too pleased to do so .

Hi Sandra, there's no need to apologise, I promise you . Folks who know me know I have a weird sense of humour about my blindness, pretty sure I got it from my mum who was forever laughing and joking about her blindness. I do find it frustrating though when so much info is available on digital images, and i can't access it. I have a subscription to ancestry.co.uk and I have to pay the same as everyone else, even though approx 3/4 of it is not accessible to me. but there are always ways and means, so I gave my log in details to a close friend who gets the additional info for me that I can't get from the images. OK, maybe that isn't allowed, but what else can I do? I must say, most of the rootsweb lists I've subscribed to have been more than helpful, which has made up for things immensley. sian, if you wouldn't mind, can you please send me the link to your site again please, I have a demo version of a different text reader that may work better with your site. If there are graphical numbers etc to type in while registering, I could do with a bit of help from your team on that though. Regards to all, Jon -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
