I think it has become an obsession with me. Wish there were more time. I still have piles and piles to type.

Nancy: I share that obsession.  The indexes for obituaries from the Maries and Osage County papers are on my Gasconade Valley Cousins web-site; the URL is in my signature block.  I use a scanner, scan the clipping into Microsoft Imaging as text and then copy it to a Micro Soft Word document.  There two things to consider; sometimes there can be quite a bit of cleanup but its still faster than straight transcription and then when I paste them into an e-mail I lose the word document formatting.  I think the formatting would remain when pasting them into a Rootsweb message but haven't tried that, at least that I remember.  An alternative would be to scan them as a ,pdf file.  The reasons I don't do that is sometimes the newsprint is bad enough that I lose words or get a big black blob; also I print them, along with birth announcements, anniversary announcements, etc. and file them by publication date by year in 3 ring binders for the Maries and Osage County Historical Society research rooms.  William L.

I, too, wish there was an easier way to send obits. to rootsweb for Osage, Maries and Miller counties. I have many hundreds more to send, but it takes time to retype, and I try very hard not to make any mistakes. Nancy is to be commended for all her work which she has been doing for longer than I have.... Mary Stigler ----- Original Message ----- From: "William L.
