Had anyone else realised that when you're using the advanced viewer on Ancestry to look at an image, you can right click on the census image and you can 'invert' it which means turn it into a negative - sometimes helps to read feint pen strokes - or you can fiddle with the brightness and contrast controls to help you see the image better. I only discovered that yesterday and I've been using the site for 12 months! Doh !! XX Sioux

Thanks Sioux. I knew it could be done but didn't know how! lol Jess Do you mean when you first click to view the image? It sometimes does take a while to download. Jeanette x
