'Visiting' old addresses, ancestral locations etc. via Street View

[Monaro Area NSW]

Not so old BUT
I checked on my maternal grgrandparents house, which is where my grandparents ended up living. (all deceased now) BUT while doing it I noticed that the house my mum and dad lived in before they divorced was standing ((It was across the road)) which amazed me to no end because I burnt it down when I was a child!!!!!
Obviously I didn't burn it all down as someone has rebuilt it and it looks almost the same as photo's I have (from before I burnt it down)

I didn't burn it on purpose,,,,I was trying to clean it up,,,,(long story)

I certainly use it whenever/wherever I can - its such a great asset! Before Google Street Search I had to rely on emailing the local Police Station, church, etc to see if a building was still standing. Naturally, one wouldn't always receive a reply.

I have Windows 7, and use the "Snipping Tool" function on the street photo's  when required - so easy.

I can only suggest press the "PrtSc" button, this will copy the whole page you are viewing to the clipboard, you can then paste it into Word & crop if necessary

No need to make things so complicated. Google Earth has a "Copy Image" facility under the Edit menu after which you can paste it into whichever programme you want.
