When I've found information in Ancestry at my local library and mail the images home, I've found that all that's arrived is a link to the image, not the image itself. I've yet to be able to open one of the links. I don't know why this is, but I can take a flash drive (aka thumb drive) with me, I can plug that into the library's computer and download the information and images directly to the drive which I can tuck in my pocket, take home and upload onto my machine. You can pick up a 2gig flash drive for around 10GBP, 4gig for around 15GBP (that's as big as the hard drive on my old computer!!) and 8gig for around 20GBP. The 4gig flash drive I have is about 3" long and ½" wide.
