Thanks to all of you who have replied to my initial question. I've learned
a couple of things from you about this. Among other things, I didn't know
there was such a thing as IrfanView until now. (I'll take a look at it &
appreciate your pointing it out to me.) And I'll admit I hadn't considered
pasting one image into the area next to another and saving the whole thing
as one image. That's obviously a good workaround to having two separate
census images for one family.
For those of you who include reference to the specific head-of-house in the
image file name and/or begin the file name with a couple's MRIN number, I
have another question: what do you do about naming images of census pages
which have two or more individual families, and therefore, two or more MRINs
on them? These are not members of the same household, but they are all
people in my database; sometimes they are not actually kin to each other,
but are only kin to mutual people. I also have multiple instances of my
gg-grandparents in one household, two doors down are my g-grandparents, and
next door is a sibling to my g-gp with his/her family. The three families
aren't living together, they're living close to one another. Do you have
duplicates of the same image, each with a name that reflects this
head-of-household or each couple's MRIN? Or, are you picking out one family
of the three and naming the census image with that one head-of-house or one
couple's MRIN in it and then referencing that number for all the rest, even
though they aren't in the same actual household???
I expect I'm being dense here. Sorry, but I'd like a little more
clarification on how others do this.
Thanks again! You're all great!
