JP>        Hello Jay, we were saying ! 

JP> AZ> If so, I'd recommend photocopying each page, then scanning the 
photocopies.
JP> AZ>Then, perhaps save the scans as a series of sequentially-numbered PDF 
files.

JP> JE> Considering 600+ pages, if I can can't do it any other way it probably
JP> JE> - possible would be less expensive to buy one that going to a copy
JP> JE> place like Kinkos.

JP>        Still, considering the source of that advice, if at all
JP>  possible, you do not want to work on every page twice. You will have
JP>  your work cut out for you just trying to keep all pages sequentially
JP>  printed or saved to some medium. I am sure that one CD would do .
JP>  When you get to the end, or near, consider merging all in one
JP>  "book". Word will do it and also Acrobat.pdf. My Genealogie was in 6
JP>  or 7 bunches, representing more frenzied periods, I merged them all
JP>  in one document in Acrobat.

I am going to pay a visit to the Genealogy Society here in San
Antonio and see if they know how the professional handle this operation.
My 1st cousin (one of only two I have) was involved with them a while
back and she made that suggestion.

Side note: I had only 3 aunts - no uncles on my Dad's side - one aunt
had a daughter and another aunt had a son that I have seen only a very
few times in my life - the last time about 25 years ago, and only an
uncle and aunt on my mother's side - both childless.

I have 4 children 2 boys and 2 girls, and my brother had 2 boys - so
things are looking up a bit for the Emrie name.

Jay
