I have been given a solution to the problem of place names displaying incorrectly on the LDS Place Searches. It does not work to use the Encoding feature on the top bar menu. However, there is still a way to do it. Place the cursor to the left of the first word at the top of the page that displays your results. If you right click your mouse, you can select Encoding. Select Western European and the names should display correctly for that page. However, you must repeat this for each page. It is a slight nuisance, but it is better than trying to read a lot of gobbledygook. Janet

I know this is a little off topic but we are going to be in Budapest from 11/20 to 11/26 and still don't have a place to stay! It is me, my brother, and my father - he is 76 and a Hungarian who has not been back since 1956. We are looking for a hotel that can fit 3 adults or maybe a short term apartment? Budget is a concern, what we are finding on the web so far is around $300 U.S. a night which is a little bit more than we wanted to pay. Thanks - Anthony --

Oh BOY, here we go! A dream coming true. The Family History Library is starting todigitize their book holdings, mostly family histories to date, andthey are putting them on-line, fully search able by any word oradvanced search combinations. Five thousand plus of these books are on the Brigham Young UniversityLibrary servers and readily accessible, NOW! Here is a partial clip of an announcement I just received and I haveonly made a quick check of how to find them and how to search, but itis very exciting ".the LDS Family History Library has announced that it has begun theprocess of digitizing and making available on the Internet all of theFamily History books in their collection. These are primarily books inthe "929.273Series" that are currently housed on the first floor ofthe Family History Library (previously housed on the fourth floor ofthe Joseph Smith Memorial Building). At the present time (September2005), about 5000 books have been digitized and are available, andthey have announced that they are adding about 100 titles a week tothe on-line collection. Copyright issues are playing a role indetermining the order in which they progress through this task; booksout of copyright are being done first." Go to the web site of the Harold B. Lee Library at BYU athttp://www.lib.byu.edu/ , then on the home page, follow the links:Find Other Materials; Electronic; On Line Collections at BYU; TextCollections tab; Family History Archive from the list of collectionsthat are displayed. The search box on the left seems to be he one tofind your books at and the search box on the right is for searchingwithin the pages on screen.

Joe, I tried this too with no effect. In fact I tried all of the encoding choices, and none of them made any difference. It is really irritating. If it is not the fault of LDS, who do think might be contacted about the problem?

So you know most browsers nowadays try to interpret 'strange' characters to Unicode, when in fact LDS still uses 'Western', i.e. ISO-8859-1. You just go - on their web pages - to your browser's character coding button and select Western.

I also have had the problem when searching for films on their website. Elizabeth V. Cardinal evc1369@comcast.net

Janet I tried it too and it is wierd. I suspect they have some kind of a problem. Wonder if they know about it. Evelyn

Is anyone besides me having difficulty getting the vowels to display correctly in the LDS Place Search? It has gotten so bad that I can hardly make out the place names. I don't remember that this was a problem in the past. Is there a solution? Janet
