Is there somebody in particular I can send the images to?

This sounds like a case for a sighted volunteer. Perhaps you can send an 
image of the pages in question to one of our sightted volunteers to have it 
deciphered for you.

I can get the text of the tree for the most part, but it starts getting
confusing when they have the mother/father split. Otherwise the only way to
make sense of it is by the birth/death years next to the person. What the
problem is, is who was married to who? and whose kids were whose? I know the
author's background quite well, and this 3 page tree is even getting me
confused. What should I do with it? Can I put [author's family tree] on the
pages?

A family tree is usually depicted as names of people, perhaps with some
amount of information about them, connected by lines. It is a very visual
representation, kind of like a pie chart. I don't know about Braille users,
but I don't see how such a depiction could be made to make any sense to the
user of a screen reader with synthetic voice. A graph or pie chart requires
description and I would think a family tree would too.

I have scanned a single page 3 or more different times without moving the
book on the scanner.

1. It comes up blank which I know isn't true based on below results. 2. I
get scrambled text that has the header (I think) at the top of the page. 3.
I get scrambled text with the header at the bottom of the page. 4. I get
some valid text with no header/footer. 5. I get some valid text with the
header/footer in the middle of the text mixing up its natural flow.



This is a family tree outline of an author. I don't know if there are images
or not. I also don't know if the family tree is in a table or not. How would
I go about fixing the page? I can send a sighted person on the list the
original scanned image of the page if needed.
