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

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

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