I have been scanning my father-in-laws photos so the entire family can share them. I never really thought of it as possibly preserving memories, but this article by Eastman’s post today made me realize I may actually be doing the right thing, of course by accident, but hey! Thankfully, Amy did that for my father’s stuff after he passed away, so guess I’ll have to continue with the other side after I finish that batch. After thinking about it a bit further, figured it wouldn’t be a bad idea to digitize all those birth certificates, etc., I’ve got hanging around. Now if I could just find a definitive answer on how to file and retrieve them all….hmmmmm.
That is a great idea. Also with the birth certificates and all. I was looking at your family tree page and I think you could upload those things (and the pictures too) and insert links into that html page. Like link the name to the image, the birthdate to the birth certificate. That would keep it all organized and people could click to see if they were interested.

I like that idea too, but I’m thinking it may be easier when the new version of RM comes out and I can do it automatically and then upload it….not that I’m lazy or anything….teehee! The new version will be coding with css and I think that plus the media album, I would not have much places to mess it up;O)
I love the name of your blog! As an administrator of Facebook’s Genea-Bloggers Group, I’d like to invite you to join the group (you’ll have to create a [free] Facebook account first, if you don’t have one). And speaking of scanning, please join us for our next Scanfest on September 28th!
