adding a picture to a post
« on: Tuesday 30 January 18 15:56 GMT (UK) »
 I have windows 7 .. and just want to take a photo that is on my computer (pictures) and add it to my post here on Rootschat .. but no luck so far.
 Think I kind of figured it out .. using 'paint' on windows 7
William Stephenson - born 1814 at Doncaster West Yorkshire - married Mary Scott at Cottingham East Yorkshire (Hull) in 1838. Williams parents I believe were another Wm Stephenson and an Alice Carter - married Cantley Parish W Yorks (Doncaster) in 1811..... Other east riding names are Nicholls (Bridlington, Yorks and Wigan Lancs.) and the surname Withernwick.

There are many tutorials on YouTube that explain how to navigate the folder structure on Windows, to help you find where your data is held.
