Julia, Gosh, I never knew there was a 'print' button on the Ellis Island site. I have always copied the manifest images into a blank word document, by preparing the word document ahead of time [edit>office clipboard] and then just copy the page into it via CTRL+Print screen. Perhaps you can try that. Let me know if it works or doesn't work.

I attempted to do another, but I had a great deal of trouble: the frames very mostly out of focus, I couldn't decipher many of the German letters, and I had a really bad bronchitis to boot, so this one wasn't posted the last time I looked. I probably made too many errors. I read that you guys had run out of manifests to transcribe and at about the same time, my contact person left and I don't remember the new contact person getting in touch with me. So you're saying there are manifests that still remain to be transcribed? The US supply isn't depleted yet? Ursula sent only the page I requested - there are many more pages to that particular  manifest as the Weimar was a large steamer. If you DO need a transcription of that 22 Apr 1891 voyage of the Weimar and Ursula consents to send me the pages, I will be happy to attempt another transcription. Even though it was already transcribed by the "Germans To America" team, errors were made, as you've probably read, so an alternative version on the 'Net couldn't hurt at all. By the way, I can no longer download original images from the Ellis Island site with either Internet Explorer or Firefox. Apparently they want to sell them for $29 - $39 each, depending on size, and have disabled the "Copy Image" function, blast 'em! With Opera, I can't even SEE the images. Also, my local LDS Family History Center has been closed for quite some time while the church is remodeled and expanded. I drive past every month or two so to see if construction's done yet, but it's lagging.

Ursula ~ The copy function isn't on the website - it's on your mouse by right-clicking and choosing "Copy Image" or similar wording. They've disabled that right-click function. There's always "screenshot", as you suggest ("Screenshot" is another name for the "PrtSc" button), but you didn't hear that from me. Besides, it would (probably, should I ever try it) take 6 shots per manifest page or more if I - theoretically - decided to magnify the screenview. Then each of the 6 images would have to be stitched together by PhotoShop, Irfanview, or some other program back into one image --- I think. That sounds like it could be very time-consuming......probably. You don't need to put a screenshot into a text document --- I've heard! --- just take the shot and open it into Irfanview, PS, whatever graphic program you use (the copy icon in the toolbar should be highlighted...I'm guessing), crop it the way you want it, adjust the color, resize, whatever, and save as a TIFF / GIFF / (JPEG - not the best choice, though) / whatever. At least, I IMAGINE that's what you could do... Copyright violations are potentially incurred from copying a proprietary browser's user interface, though MS and others rarely bring suit from what I've read. Also...maybe a case for theft of services by EI. There are consequences to everything, no free lunch, etc. .^_^. --- On Fri, 1/22/10, Ursula <[email protected]> wrote: ...Gosh, I never knew there was a 'print' button on the Ellis Island site...
