Have you already found a person in the local family book, we would like to know the ID - Number shown on the page. The ID - Number is right in the line with the name of the person. This ID - Number is unique and directly linked to the personal data. Popular and frequently awarded first name in connection with same surname complicate our work and we must ask for a unique assignment in the circumstances. This can be avoided by specifying the ID you´ve already found.

Let us decide whether is not to save the image. It requires a scan with at least 300 dpi (10 x 15 format). 600 dpi would be better It is necessary if cut-outs should be made of people for the local heritage books (out of group shots, such as school classes).
