Everyone, Please remember the below at the start of the Roots Digest. "If you respond to this digest, please replace the subject line of your response (so it doesn't read "Re: ROOTS-L Digest") and please don't quote the digest ... a few lines from the message to which you are responding or (better still) a brief summary of that message will do. Thanks!" You seem to be forgetting the request. Remember, there are people who are limited in what they can accept and even if not....it's hard to dig thru the constantly repeated things that are being put in. Gretchen EXAMPLE BELOW: Message: 11 Date: Sun, 22 Jul 2012 10:38:34 -0500 From: Alta Flynt <altaf1@att.net> Subject: Re: [ROOTS-L] 1930 Census To: BARTON LEWIS <bartonlewis@optonline.net> Cc: Web Roots <roots@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <500C1E7A.8080705@att.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed I see what's going on now. When you get to the box that says "This image is available" click on the big blue "Sign in" button. That will take you to the page where you either enter your user name and password (if you've done this before) or create a new account - free and easy to do. Then just follow the directions I sent before. Alta On 7/22/2012 10:31 AM, BARTON LEWIS wrote: > Thanks Alta, but the mystery continues. When I click on that little > gray camera, nothing happens.
