Yes, Linda we are interested and I know that you are very very thorough so this is something worthy waiting for. I am doing the same thing myself as I know that I am uncovering something that have not been uncovered by my other family genealogist. CD's and burning CD's are the greatest invention yet. Being able to store that much info on a little silver disc... WOW. Cheryl Linda Trent <lindatrent@zoomnet.net> wrote: I've been wondering about something that I've been working on at home. I'm putting all my family documents and family tree maker files on disc and then sending them out to my siblings. I am also planning on making additional discs that don't contain documents of living individuals to send out to some National family historians. This requires a scanner and a CD burner. I've noticed that the documents often times are not legible on the computer screen once scanned, however when I print them out they print out legibly. I'm also backing up my family tree maker onto CD as well. I'm finding that this requires a lot less room to store and I can keep copies of the discs in a safety deposit box. That way should the house catch fire, my documents and hard work are always safe. I was thinking about donating a copy to the GCH&GS, if they're interested, but they have to wait till I get this project completed :-) Linda Tope Trent lindatrent@zoomnet.net ==== OHGALLIA Mailing List ==== For those of you on Digest mode, please don't quote the entire digest when replying.
