Hello Virginia - Just recently I have met two nice young men, one a York cousin, and one who wants to mark all the graves of those who served in the 1st Calvary - I had photos, notes, gravestone photos, one I just rec'd, and that came from another cousin through the Philpot family! It is super when a site works! But... please rather than publishing the obits and marriages file by file, gather some together and post them! My mailbox is filled and will not accept anymore mail! Thanks, Diane Today's Tip === Aren't Those Characters Special? Have you ever needed a symbol or some other special character like the degree symbol, the small square checkbox, the copyright symbol, etc.? Well, they're tucked away in a folder that, once you know where to look, is easy to get to and use. Here's How: Click the Start Button, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, then select Character Map. You'll be presented with a screen that has lots of different symbols. When you click (and hold) a symbol, it gives you an enlarged preview of it. To actually select the symbol: 1. Click the symbol you want. 2. Click the Select button, then the Copy button. This will copy your symbol onto the clipboard where you can then paste it into any word processing program. Some word processors give you direct access to the character map. In Word for example, click the Insert menu and select Symbol. You will be given a "customized" screen that can automatically insert a symbol directly into your current document. Finally, if you find yourself using a particular symbol all the time, check out the lower right hand corner of the above window. On the status bar, you can view the keystroke combo you can use to generate the current character. Now, all you have to do is hit your keystroke combo (Alt+c) whenever you need the beloved ©. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Virginia Crilley" <varcsix@hot.rr.com> To: <GAPOLK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 3:17 PM Subject: [GAPOLK] New files this week > If your county isn't listed this time, please do help us spread the word. > Pass this along to any researchers you work with or any surname lists, > etc. It so much fun to hear from you when you make a connection with > another family researcher! > > The GA Archives Uploads page has been updated to reflect the > uploads of 4 July 2004 and 10 July 2004: > > > You can view the updated page at: > http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gauploads.html > > To become a submitter, click here: > http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/index.html > > Thank you for sharing your research.
