you cant download to genes the only way is to scan it into your pc and then email it to a willing helper on their personal email address,
would volunteer but am expecting guests any mo,so wont be around for long

John, are you able to scan it?

If not, perhaps you could put it on a site that has free albums & put the address on here.

Hi Ozi

I managed to read some of the certificate although not the bride's name or her mother's name and maiden name.

Perhaps Joss could forward the scan to you as well and you may be able to read more than me.
