Hi: There is a lot of busy work going on right now, but I do have a new bit of data for you in the newspapers. The first draft of World War I was conducted in Barry County in July of that year and the listing was published in the paper. I saw a lot of familiar names listed and suppose you will, too. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/news/7/index-7.htm HEADS UP! I think now is a good time to mention the resolution size of cemetery photos The weather is getting cooler and a lot of us will probably find our way out to the cemetery. My cemetery fever gets so high that I think that my feet jump up and down just from the thought of making a trip in a Barry County cemetery. I know some of you probably don't care about cemeteries but there are some of us who love to walk in a Barry County cemetery and look at the stones. On the cemetery photos that you are taking of the stones - the resolution size on your digital cameras should be set so that your photos are less than 300kb - or are anyway in that range. That is a simple setting and all you have to do is read your camera books to see how to do make that adjustment. Some of you seem to be in the misconception that if you crop your photos that the resolution will be in the right range. I have even had a few try and send thumbnails or have reduced the stone size down so much that we couldn't read the dates. All of that is a lot of unnecessary work. Speaking of unnecessary work - do not rename your photos. If you renmae them I probably will have to rename them, too. If you leave the camera numbers in tact, then I can probably load them to the web with that indentification without having to rename them. PLEASE - PLEASE read your camera books and set the resolution so that I don t have to resize all of your photos and so that we can read all the dates. I think that all of you know me well enough to know that I will do what ever that I have to do to save your photos and to get them on the web - but it would just be easier for me - and would help me out a lot. Your cameras all have adjustments for web viewing photos. If you have had trouble with this, please don't feel frustrated or dumb. I think that I took a thousand or more photos before I figured it out. Donna Cooper
