Don't forget about floods! We had 18' of water in our basement during Isabel---not much by some peoples standards--some had 6' in their living rooms, but enough to damage some of our "things". Fortunately I was able to save many family pictures. I never thought we'd have a drain pipe back up from the river into the basement, but it did! I'm having copies of all of the important pictures made and sending them to my 3 daughters.

Gaila, You're welcome. You might consider scanning your most important pictures in Color (even the black and white photos) at 300 (or greater) ppi as TIffs and save them separately on the CD in a folder named RawScans. You'll have more of the picuture's data that way. Another sugestion, if I might offer: Name your computer files with "LastnameFirstnameDetails.filetype" always using Maiden names and details about resolution, subject matter, etc. This will have many benefits including sorting them logically in your computer, DVD player, etc. Randy C.

I just got a photo of the original house built by Minor Winn I in Virginia. It has an addition built by Minor Winn II. I'd love to see a portrait of Richard.

Dear Randy, Sorry for having missed the link on your first e-mail. As to the "editing" of items, just for clarification, I would only "edit" when it pertains to something personal to me and not a historical marker type photograph. I think it is great that you are taking the efforts to collect historical photographs I wish more would.

Cousins, I've tried just about everything and still much-prefer scanning from the original for archival work. Let me see if I can explain. Many people, even those working with computers, misunderstand the differences between computer graphics, printed graphics, and photographs. Your computer screen can only display 72-90 pixels per inch. To print a quality photograph, you should use graphics that are at least 300 ppi per inch. Of course the subject matter maks a difference. A digital photo (obtaining a good exposure) of Richard Winns portrait is fine if all the decendants ever want to do is look at these results on a monitor. With a good digital camera, you'll be throwing away detail to thin the graphic so it will transmit faster over the Internet. It will look very good to the human eye on a monitor which is backlit. BUT (and this is a big but to me) you can't print this graphic worth a darn. Which means much of the detail that was in the original, is not there anymore. The same is true for pictures published in books. They are printed in such a way so they look like a photograph to the human eye by using small dots leaving large spaces in between. However, it doesn't have the same level of detail as did the original. The pattern I saw when looking close at the Richard Winn Portrait makes me pretty sure it was commercially printed in this way. If you take a 300 dpi scan from the original graphic and optimize it with Photoshop, you can print it as good or better than the original and you can zoom in on details with a computer and good monitor that weren't distinquishable with the naked eye. I do historical and family research and pixel-level repairs to get all I can from my family portraits. I even keep the original high-density scans of family portraits in a separate folder on my CDs because someday someone better at this than I am may want to try to do a better job--or technology may improve part of the process. I hope this helps dispell the misconception that might arrise as you hear someone, who knows much more about the media than you do, say adigital photo would be better. They are thinking it would do for computer use but be aware, they wouldn't be better from an archival standpoint. Randy C.

Becky, I always share--otherwise what is the point?

However, if you archive a poor copy--less detailed than what exists, you not only pass on something that seems more than it is, you may eventually cause a better one to be lost (overwritten by the poor digital file). My years in Information Mgmt. taught me that lesson full well. So I have concluded that if I get the best pictures that now exist, properly archive them and save them at 300 dpi on CD, then get copies to all the direct relatives. In this way, they will probably have the best chance of surviving, in tact, in the long run. I'm all ears if anyone has other views on this subject. Randy C. Smart www.ancestor-rescue.com

Dear Randy, I don't live in that direction or I would help you out, maybe one of the cuz's will volunteer to go by and get one for you. I wanted to thank you for sharing the picture that you did find, with out it we would not know about it at all. I wish more on the list would share their "finds". Should their "finds" be a census, a letter, a bible, a picture etc... every thing we put on this list is archived for others to find, that is how we "find" each other. Also I have a website that is majority Wynn's [mainly my line, but has all spellings] and I have photo's on there also. Some are people, some are tombstones. Del C., and Leo are great ones to share tombstones with me. I am getting ready to split the pictures to have my line and then have the rest so it is easier for people to get to the people they are interested in. Should any one have pictures they wish to share send them my way. Again just wanted to thank you for sharing, that was sure sweet of you.

I definitely would like a copy of the Richard Winn portrait. Please include me? Jack Winn in Orlando

Is there another available copy of Richard Winn's portrait other than the one on the internet or going to SC? Are there any other copies of "portraits of Minor Winn's children"? Anyway it was great seeing what the Winns might have looked like even if the copy is not the best. Thanks.

A digital photo would be better than what I have but not nearly the "best" that I expect for archiving. As a photoshop expert, I'm volunteering to work on this portrait if I can get a good 300 dpi scan (can be overlapping) in full color. I can get the most out of it that can be gotten but need the detailed scan to make it worth my trouble. I would share copies with anyone interested and keep a copy on the web. Randy C. Smart
