Answer

I have hundreds of pictures of my ancestors that I want my grandkids to see. How can I put them on this site for everyone to enjoy?

There are several options to look into. The easiest solution is to find a local business that offers a photo-scanning service. For a reasonable fee, they will create a high-quality computer file of all of your pictures and slides. These are then very easy to place on the family history website. Another solution for the computer-savvy is for you or a family member to scan your pictures. This can take quite a bit of time but will save money over having them scanned professionally. If those two options don’t work out, email us your problem. We would be happy to help you find a solution.
