I have never ask any of you out there anything, but I would like to pose a question. I have subscribed to Genealogybank.com as a member and have for the last three years. I like this site very well. Also have subscribed to Newspaper.com, which this site is not very user friendly. I was just curious if anyone had subscribed to Archives.com and what they thought of the site. Is it perhaps linked to Genealogybank.com and all the research is the same? Everytime try to locate an obit, it sends me to Archives.com, even tho it states it a free research site. I am willing to subscribe to Archives.com because I do lots of obit researching.

I use free IrfanView as my picture program. http://www.irfanview.com/ It will batch rename all types of files. You just need one picture in a file so you can open the program. It will take out spaces, etc., or it will add a cemetery name or something on all of the names. It will also batch make all of your pictures a smaller size file.

I use Firefox and am quite happy with it. Left IE at version 6 and have not looked back. Have also used Sea Monkey, and Chrome.

I have put some info online for one of my cemeteries and put the photocopy out and linked to it from the individual. Just had to add the code to do it with. Sorry I haven't answered before this but I have been off the net for the last few days. If you look at the Vincent Family Cemetery you will see on the bottom of the page William Oscar F his link goes to the actual stone. I was able to find a death certificate for Belle and so her link is to her death certificate. I also have a page for the Seminole Black Indian Scouts and have found a number of records with military information as well as the grave sites and will putting that information out on their page.

I looked for a follow-up but couldn't find one. Check with the courthouse in Anderson Co. and see if there are any records. I think he was innocent also.
