Hi Listers, The books came today for Monongalia Co. so I can start the lookups in them. They cover a lot of area. And for the names of people mentioned there is quit a bit of data. Is there anyone who might be able to tell me how to get scanned material from the scanner into a program so it can be read and pasted to the e'mail.? I am new at that. I can do phpotos with no problem and I can print directly from the scanner but trying to send it to word just comes out jibberish for me and trying to type all would take for ever as there is so much there. I can send snail mail with no problem but would like to post data as well. I have gotten it into imaging but is to big to put in an e'mail. I don't know how to make it smaller. So if anyone knows how to do any of this, I follow instructions well and learn quick. I can't wait to put up some of the data in these books. Monongahalia books are awsome and so glad I got them.
