I have uploaded the Land Patent Map, redrawn by John Blankenbaker, to the BROYLES/BRILES Family History web site. Near the top of the home page, you will see a link to click to see the Map. It is too large to see in one screen, so you will have to use the scroll bars to see it all. It is approximately 185 Kb in size and takes one minute to download with a 28,800 modem. Its actual size is 3133 X 2341 pixels, so when you view it on your graphics viewer at home, it will seem extremely large. It had to stay this size to maintain the original resolution and definition. When you print it out, use "Page Setup" and tell the program to print it with "Use Full Page", "Maintain Aspect Ratio", and "Center on Page". (These settings may not be exactly the same in your graphics program -- they are from Paint Shop Pro.) If you do this, and if you set your printer to print at 720 dpi, you will have a perfect printout. John's work is exemplary. You won't find a better map of the Germanna Land Patents anywhere. He has a couple more that I will upload soon, including one of the original John BROYLES (Johannes BREYHEL) land patent. (P.S. About Paint Shop Pro. PSP is available as a shareware program. I have several programs on my system, including Corel, Adobe, and other "premiere" programs, and I have found that PSP is the easiest to work with, AND has the most flexi- bility and versatility. You can find a copy at: http://www.jasc.com/psp4.html At that URL, you can click to download a shareware version or order a registered version. The price is kind of steep at $69, but it is well worth it if you need a program that will let you view ANY graphics file format, manipulate pictures, do repair work on old photos, add text to pictures, and dozens of other necessary utilities. Of course you can use the share- ware version, as it is fully functional. You just have to put up with the opening notices about using shareware, the time limits, etc.) SgtGeorge GERMANNA_COLONIES List Administrator BROYLES/BRILES List Administrator WILHITE List Administrator BROYLES/BRILES Family History Web Site
