I had the same problem when I went to Windows 7. I understand why you
use Files, rather than Picture, because your census images are
probably pdf files and that's how they must be attached. I downloaded

I do use 'files' instead of 'pictures' as it then opens up another program

How do you handle county names that change? The county was Jones and then
became Smith. I have some that have three names and one that has had four.
In no case are all records under the same county name so I need to indicate

That assumes you always have a computer up your sleeve and doesn't help when
you are relying on a printout or an app. And in many cases it is not an
accurate description of the record location. Vital records often remain in
the original county but land records tend to go with the spin off county.

You can still verify the county manually, however.
If you can get over not having the verifier, one option is to use something
