Ancestry.com Bringing High-Speed Scanners to FGS 2009
Ancestry.com is excited to provide attendees of the Federation of Genealogical Societies’ family history conference (September 2-5 in Little Rock, Arkansas) the opportunity to have their family records scanned, for free, on high–speed scanners.
We are bringing two scanners to the conference, and attendees can sign up for up to 15-min sessions to have their family history documents and photographs scanned and saved to a flash drive (provided by Ancestry.com).
Will you be at the FGS conference and bring items to scan? If so, let us know by pre-registering for the scanners using the following link: http://FGSscanners.eventbrite.com

Can pictures be saved as .tif files? How many dpi’s per file?
I scan my pictures at home to .tif files at 1200 dpi. I then create another copy as .jpg.
