    3. Hi Denise, I'm sorry I can't help with your question; however, I wondered whether you could help with my particular dilemma. I have Annie Regina Woolf b. 14 November 1834 at Fordsburg, Transvaal, who married Peter Lehman; there is talk in the family that Peter Lehman was Jewish, but have no proof of this. I have not been able to ascertain where Annie Regina fits in. Any help much appreciated.

    3. Publishing e-books are dead simple really If you have your manuscript in (say) Microsoft Word, all you will need is the software to convert it into e-book format I find that a freeware application called Calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com/) is absolutely the most versatile, as it will allow you to publish in all the popular formats (LIT, MOBI, EPUB and may more). It can deal with Tables of Content, graphics etc with no problems I am not quite sure what you mean by common e-mailing of an e-Book, but zipping the files is the usual way to do it. I am assuming that you do not intend to publish it in protected format such as that used by most e-book online distributors, as that will add another layer of complexity, and need more software. Page layouts and sizes are mostly determined by the device on which the e-book is read. On my PC, for instance, using Mobipoclet (http://www.mobipocket.com/en/DownloadSoft/default.asp?Language=EN). I can generally display two 'pages' simultaneously, the 'page' content depending on the size of the font I choose. On my Sony PRS-650 Reader and my Dell Axim X50v PDA I can also change the font sizes, which will affect the 'page' size as well. Your copyright notice would be included in the publication itself, as usual, but copy prevention is another story, involving Digital Rights Management, and the software measures to enforce it Johann Message: 3 Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 04:06:37 +0200 From: "TW" <thewanderer@iburst.co.za> Subject: [SOUTH-AFRICA] eBook Publishing To: "RW RSA" <SOUTH-AFRICA@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <93EC0582FBC84DD7B5A116B28823111A@BartSimon> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Mye Goodye Cosynes !!!

    3. Hello, My name is Margo Kennedy and I live in Queensland, Australia. My research on Slee & McCraw families has led me to South Africa. William & Ellen Slee arrived in abt 1900, as did Thomas & Annie (nee Heap) MCraw. They each had two children, all born in Victoria, Australia; Leo Cyril Benjamin & Margaret Irene Slee (married Fisher in SA.) - and Ernest Victor )married McCallitster in SA), & William McCraw. They all lived in Johannesburg area - William Slee was a Painter, and Thomas McCraw was a Stonemason/Cutter, operating their own businesses. I'm hoping to make contact with extended members of the family. Thanks, Margo
