Hello Jane, The scanning itself is reasonably good, but the OCR (optical character recognition) leaves quite a lot to be desired.  The good thing about this site is that you can edit it yourself, so you can go back and alter that word to Ship - shame to spoil the giggle for others though! :-) Regards, Janice ________________________________ From: Jane Woodall <jane.woodall@virgin.net> To: Janice Wood <janwood50@btinternet.com>; YORKSGEN@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, 13 August 2012, 9:11 Subject: Re: [YORKSGEN] Discoveries in Newspapers Brilliant - but the scanning is appalling!
