Hi
Can you tell me how I can send a copy of a marriage certificate through to a rootschat member?
Thanks,
Floridagirl ???

Hey Viv, this seems to be the only way to contact you since I can't reply or send PMs here for some reason.  I got the PMs you sent me though.  Thanks for the info you sent, I'll be sure to take a look.

Just to stay on topic though, I think the only way to do what you asked about is to get their email address and send it as an attachment.

Hiya Styner,

You just need to post one more time nad you'll be able to PM.  It's a protective measure.

Cheers,

The safest way is to post it as a message right here on RootsChat. That way you are protected from viruses and spam. If you click the "Additional Options" link on the message you can attach images to messages (and text and GEDcom files for that matter)

Hi Trystan
Thanks for that, I did try to do this a while ago but I'll have another go.

You also need to make sure that thefile is no bigger than 300KB most census images can be easily compressed or resized down to less that 100kb without any noticeable loss of quality.
