Glad you sorted it. Luckily for me, my family had quite nice writing.

I have found that a magnifying glass is invaluable in decyphering faint images on certificates.

For anybody reading this thread who doesn't happen to know. I'm no expert (to say the least) but when you send something by e-mail that you have scanned, don't you have to put it on jpeg or similar to make sure it isn't huge and takes about 20mins to go through? Cheers - Chrissie
