Thanks Tink for your great help. Two of the e-mail's like the one I am replying on that you sent me were blank but the others came through just fine. I will be definitely checking these out to see what wonderful information I can find. Right now we are getting our small town newspaper ready to put to bed so to speak. This whole month, ever since we put to bed last months paper we have had computer problems. Never try to work on a computer or any problem for that matter, after midnight. For some reason ones brain fails to function properly and that is what happened to my husband and we lost all our info that hadn't been backed up since Nov. that included all our business records and taxes plus the format for the paper. It is a long story and I won't bore you with the details. But I will say this we will be at least a week late in getting out our little "sheet". Thank heavens, we don't have a weekly like my grandparents and father had starting back in 1899 up to 1952. If you would like a copy of our little paper please send me your snail mail address and we will be glad to send it to you. Thanks again for your great help. It was good to hear from you.

Hi Joan, The two blank messages resulted because I had done a copy/paste off the Ingalls' website, but didn't send them as a "plain" message. Rootsweb won't let "stylized" messages through. I re-sent them in plain mode once I realized what I had done, so you got all the info. About your computer crash at the newspaper, there is a recovery service that insurance companies, businesses and government agencies use after fires, floods, earthquakes, etc. to recover data from hard drives. It's located in Texas, but I forget the name. I'll try to track it down. Last I heard, the cost was a couple hundred dollars for a normal size hard drive, depending on various factors. But for a business, it's usually worth it. I'll check with our MIS people and see if they can direct me to the info.
