Hi Folks;
In the "a word to the wise category" in doing some on-line research on the Foss name, I recently ran across a very corrupt census image on Genealogy.com. Since I had such a hard time making out the entries I used the metadata to try and look up the same image on Ancestry.com--it wasn't there. Apparently, the folks at Ancestry decided it was too hard to read (it was horrible) and just skipped the page altogether. Lesson learned: if you don't find it in one index or site dont' give up, you may find it on another.
Cheers, Masugu |

Hello I'm new to this board and am still trying to learn and move around here; HOWEVER, I maybe of some help on your Contrary Indexes. I have some pretty good picture editing software (thats part of what I do for a living) if you come across a written page (picture of a page). If some one will contact me and send me the jpg or other picture format I maybe able to sharpen it up a bit and read it. I have had to do that to some of the Ill pages that I downloaded. I would be more than happy to try and help. Happy Hunting Doris Warner Parish.. Dejaa |

Mesuga, Please tell me what is metadata? I have never heard that term before. Is it a search engine and where do you get it? Thanks for your help. Regards, Andrea |

Hi Andrea;
Metadata refers to the reference data surrounding the facts that you're
really interested in. In the case of census data that might be page #,
county, roll #, film #, name of enumerator, date enumerated, family
number, etc. etc. . Hope that clears it up. Cheers, Masugu
