    1. Re: [WASKCGS-L] Re: WA-SKGS-D Organizing Family History
    2. Thank you Rebecca for adding to the list of those who are experiencing the same problem. It makes me feel better to realize others find themselves with the same dilemma. I kept telling myself that I should have anticipated the problem and figured it out from the beginning. I thought my Family Treemaker Program would neatly print everything out; I would simply 3 hole punch and put the pages in waiting notebooks. Ha! Another thing: Sometimes I just want to ask a question while I'm dealing with a specific problem. Most SKCGS meetings aren't the place to get answers to specific questions unrelated to the days topic. Here's an example: My aunt in Romania gave me some original church records (one from 1825). I've taken many photo copies of it and the others.... but: Should I laminate the original for future generations? Is that the best way to preserve it? Maybe another way of thinking would be, what the heck, I've got a lot of copies now, so what's the difference if future generations see the original or a copy. Same with vintage photos. I can make a digital that's better than the original vintage photo and a digital of a digital does not lose clarity like a copy of a copy. Well, these are some things I think of as I plow through boxes of wonderful stuff feeling overwhelmed, but determined to organize each individual thing. Do we have a computer way to ask a specific question to our members so we can learn from those who have already come up with good answers to the kookiest questions? Shirley Taylor
