Jeff Jahn, What happened when you tried to save an image?”

Laura i get a HTTP 403 Forbidden message “This website declined to show this webpage” when using the Advanced Image Viewer. I have to use the Old one to save a image.

@Mike #9 Works fine for me in FF 10.

@Laura – Looks good! Any better timeframe for 1930 US?
Thanks

I also would like to know how to do that highlighting trick.

from roots tech 2012 Barbara Renick 11 layers of online search. did a “find on Page” where in the search results it showed the township highlighted to make it easier to scroll through on the 1870 census for Jobin vs Tobin
How do I do that I looked through the learning center and could not find it.
Thanks

I know the highlight ability seems nice at first glance but frankly isnt all that useful unless you save a image for each household. In my case of the 15 households list on page all maybe related to me. Also while playing with the beta of the view i noticed the save image option wont work for me had to go back to the old enhanced viewer instead of the beta.

It looks good, but with the records that, how should I put this, have been cleaned up to look good, and only made them next to impossible to read now, this is not going to help in any way to improve the reading of them. If those that were cleaned up were put back to orginal it would help alot. The last two weeks I have been looking at Sweden church records that made me cry, because they were unreadable. Evey little speckle on a record can deterime many things. Is there any hope of getting those records restored back to how they were?
