Hi David,
    Thanks for replying to my question regarding whether Jaws will read ftm 
census records. Support at ftm claimed that jaws would read images but I was 
doubtful about their answer. Jaws will read the census index but not the 
records.What the world needs is a scanner which will read hand writing and 
transcribe it to ASCII.!  Thanks, chuck.
