I am not sure what they did exactly, but about 6 months ago, they changed (improved, they say) the structure of their database rendering. So, any link I saved as part of a source citation from that time period or before is not available (and not obviously modifyable to the new address with a simply directory change). For the transcribed data for marriages, baptisms, 1930 Census, etc., I simply redo the search and recopy the web address to the new one when I come accross one of these records (the search routine itself has not changed). For images, if you have not saved the actual image, I suspect you may have to search it again and recopy the web address - I have been saving all of my scanned images locally to my hard drive, so I don't bother.
Thanks for the info! This past summer I systematically started doing notes in Word, (instead of handwritten in a spiral notebook) and of course I save both an image and the link. The Romo notes I filed here are just my raw notes with the images deleted...If only I had done it this from the beginning!

The website looks OK again...I am not sure what happened - a technical issue of some sort. Denise
