From: Carla Johns If anyone would like to see copies, I can mail you .jpg files - they are about 500kb and 400kb respectively. ------------------ That sounds awfully large, especially for jpgs. I think you can condense a .bmp or .tif considerably as a .jpg and send it a lot quicker, and that recipients can open it as .bmp or .tif and have the full quality of what you sent. Several people here have done it thru websites, and they can explain it a lot better than I can. Anyway, I believe it's easier than you think. For instance, a year ago Margie Garr sent me a scan of my great-great grandparents, which none of us had seen before. Within a week, every Williamson County Williams had it, or access to it, and it's a very good picture. None of us knew we were related to Margie Garr either, but that was nice to find out too. So send what you've got, and some descendant will figure out how to inform all the familly. Keep this up, and everybody else in the world will wish they were from Egypt. Sorry for the exaggeration.
