Hi Terry: Can you email this list and explain, if possible, how to download a myfamily site so that you can put the information on a CD? Thanks, Cousin Sandi Carter Frazier Park, California "On the Hill"

Sandi and all, Without system level access to the host computer at MyFamily.com I've adopted the following non-intrusive approach to getting the information from the Garrard site there. Anything that is text; like News, Recipes (our lineages), and Photo Descriptions; I am cutting and pasting into individual text files. To do this, place the cursor at the beginning of the text to be copied, press and hold down the left mouse button and move the cursor to the end of the text. This will highlight (also called select) the text to be copied. With the desired text highlighted and the mouse pointing to that text, click the right mouse button and and press the word Copy. Then open a text file and with the cursor inside that file's window press the right mouse button and click on Paste. This will replicate the text. Click File and Save As navigate to where you want the text file to be kept, name the file (check that the correct file type is displayed) and click Save. For Photo images, first display the image to be copied. After they are displayed, I've been clicking on images to change them to their original size to ensure the best choice of resolution to the viewer. With the image to be saved displayed, point to it and right click the mouse, then click Save Picture As. Next navigate to where you want to store the image, name the file (check that the correct file type is displayed-for images it should be JEPG (*.jpg) and click Save. I have created a folder named Garrard and in it created sub-folders for each area of the Garrard MyFamily site. I am storing things in the sub-folder that represents the area of MyFamily that it came from. In the case of photos, I will have two identically named files for each image except, one will be the image (a *.JPG file) and the will be the description (A *.txt file). When I've finished downloading everything and have checked it over I plan to use XCOPY to transfer the Garrard folder and all of its sub-folders to a CD. People will be able to view images using whatever image viewer they have and read or incorporate text information in whatever word processor they use. Just an update on my progress. I have 6 pages of images left to download. Getting this information this way is time consuming, tedious, and requires almost constant attention. I have been severley hampered today by strong thunder showers in our area. I take the precaustion of shutting my system down in these conditions. At the rate I am going, I expect to have all of the data from our site by tomorrow evening. I'm not sure how that fits your timetable. It's your call. Shall I continue? Terry
