Diane You mention from 1790 and up for Deeds for Cayuga County NY. It would help if you could pinpoint your Date the Deed was filed. Counties changed over the years and it would be filed at the Court House of the County it was in when the Deed was filed. Thus making the date important to determine which Court House would have the Deed. Cayuga did not become a County until 1799. From 1794 to 1799 it was part of Onondaga County and from 1791 until 1794 it was part of Herkimer County. Prior to 1791 from 1772 it was included with Montgomery County NY (Actually Montgomery was known as Tryon County from. 1771-1784). Pat R

oops. I forgot to mention these records are in Auburn, NY. -----Original Message----- From: Jim & Sue Allen [mailto:jallen2@rochester.rr.com] Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2007 2:10 PM To: nycayuga@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [NYCAYUGA] Searching for deeds For Cayuga Co, they are in the County Clerk's office, on the first floor.

HI Bill - I'm a mac user - I'm not having problems downloading messages. You can compensate I believe for note having the right mouse by using control click - you can't tell but I'm hesitating since I'm using a lap top now. My 6+ year old iMac - has trouble surfing the web since the technology of the internet has risen above the highest level browser I can use with OS9 - but I can get email on my iMac and actually prefer to do so. What I want to add is - with an older Mac - you can capture an image in another way - if you use Netscape - you can go to you ƒcache and find the image there - for a brief period of time. You will then be able to open up that image in pictureviewer - copy it and save it into what ever imagine soft ware you use. I seldem save your photos becuase it takes a lot of memory - but when I want to - that is how I could do it - if I can't capture it a different way. With Safari - I don't seem to be able to get into the cache - but you can grab and drag - anyway - try control click - if you want to contact me off list feel free and perhaps I can give you some other tips. It's wonderful what you contribute to the discussion through your photos/scans. As we speak I've just referred a friend and former work/peer - (she's retired) to your Junius map.

I have gotten a lot of responses and it so far sounds like people with PC's and Macs can down load the images and save them in digital form. But it also sounds like the quality may be lacking. I can not fully use the site as I am hooked at home to the internet via a LINIX box with strick security actions in place by my computer person. I had fired up my Mac but was unable to download the files. I have the Mac mouse with no buttons (no right click) so maybe there is something that I am missing. bill This is from a geologist from SUNY at Geneseo I can copy and open the images in other software (ie.

The way the site uses pop-up windows and not direct URLs makes it hard to use some of the image grabbing tools I have, so I don't know how to d/l them either, at least not at the higher resolution. =================================== I have an iMac OSX (Macintosh/Apple) and am able to download the images by pressing Control and then a left click on the mouse.

If you right click on the map you choose, not the transparent map, and choose "save picture as" It will save on your PC.
