Margie;
Write them as a text file (Like I am doing now) and send them to me.
Oh, BTW; the file you sent me on the Roop family was great, except it was much too big
to upload to the server.

Sarah,
I recently received a copy of the obituaries of people buried in Reynolds Cemetery in
Adams Co. I would be happy to transcribe them and have permission from Nola Rains to do
so. How do I go about it?
