Linda, That is wonderful and yes, we would love to have a copy of the disc. (whenever you finish is fine) This is another way for people to donate their family history to the society. CD's take up less room and I'm sure Mary Lee will find a great spot for them so they can be used by researchers. I have also been scanning documents into my family tree maker and then saving to disc and sometime they do not scan well. I have not worked on finding a solution to the problem but I will.
