What I’ve done is try to do a screenshot of the document then rename it for the source. Kind of what you do, I think. Luckily I did have all my pix in a file before I posted them on Ancestry. Almost everything Ancestry has can be found through public sources... just didn’t want to go through the “search” again. Kind of makes all ancestry’s “hints” useless on other programs. Gordon
