Greetings Florence!

I am sending this reply to the group instead of just you personally as
your question about 'where and how' to send materials surfaces many
times and the answer may be of interest to others:

You can send your documents to me at: romers_at_shaw.ca
as email attachments. If you are sending multiple files attached to a
single email, keep the total of all the files under 1 MB. Multiple
emails with a few attachments each are usually more efficient than a
large number of attachments on a single email.

If you scan photos and documents, scan them at higher resolution rather
than lower; I can then adjust the file sizes to suit being posted on the
website. A single scan than produces about a 100 KB file usually works
very well. If the resolution is low too begin with, it is sometimes
difficult to get a good presentation. The .jpg format for images is
easiest for me, but I can handle anything. For text, I prefer 'plain
text' rather than something from a word processor, but again can most
likely handle whatever you have.

If you have large numbers of photos or documents, putting them onto a CD
and sending me the CD by letter post is the best solution.

In your case Florence, I will build a page and put your documents, along
with any explanatory text in the 'Help Identify/Find' section on the
website and notify the group of their existence.

As well, you might want me to include the surnames you are researching
(EBNER, KIRMAYER) in our 'Czernowitz FamilyFinder' section. Let me know.

Best,
Jerome
