To me, a scanned picture or document speaks a the untold stories. That is what LaTour Genealogical Collection does. I take census records, church records, and etc, and scann them and make pictures, then put them on the internet. I have been tring to get more genealogical researchers to get involved with this concept of scanning your documents and upload them to the internet.
