I believe it is a database, of 'photocopies'. Each one has a coded name which is search-able, as the census is. The indexing is done on the name file with the attachments (photos) following along. It doesn't matter if we disagree, I would still handle it in Mills as a DB. This may be an instance of semantics. I wish my family had a similar tool where they were at. Congratulations on findng this helpful tool. Rich in LA CA
