As a computer novice can someone tell me how you get the info onto these boards from the census pages. You don't type it all out do you? Thanks. Linda

If it is directly from an image, then yes you do have to type it out, unless you are e.mailing it to them as an attachement. If it is on an index, like ancestry etc. then you can highlight the text by rolling the curser over it, while holding down the left button of your mouse. you then can press ctrl & c (to copy) and then click into your message box on here and click ctrl & v (to paste). Hope this helps!.
