(Small Text Issues)
A few people have written to say that the text is too small to read on the Tompkins County site. We've spent the last few weeks diagnosing the problem, with a lot of help from Dave McDermitt, who patiently sent us screen shot after screen shot of what he sees on his computer. In Dave's case, it turned out that his browser text size was set to "Smaller" instead of the standard setting, "Medium", or something larger. If you have been having problems reading the text on this site, try this:
  • In Internet Explorer, click View/Text Size, and see which choice is selected. The choices are: Largest, Larger, Medium, Smaller, and Smallest. If your browser is not set on Medium or larger, try changing to Medium and see if the text gets larger. (This should work if you have AOL or Earthlink, too.)
  • In Netscape 7.x, click View/Text Zoom (View/Text Size in Netscape 6.x; View/Increase Font in Netscape 4.7), and see if 100% is selected. If not, switch to that, and see if your text gets larger.
  • In Opera, click View/Zoom, and select 100%.

I hope this takes care of the problem!

There a few cemeteries on our main cemetery page that don't have links to records. These cemeteries are rumored to exist, or may have existed at one time, or may be an alternate name for a cemetery we already have. The fact is, we just don't know. In an effort to give you as much information as we have about these rumored and missing cemeteries, we have added a Missing Cemeteries page to the cemeteries section. Each missing cemetery links to this page. If you have any information about any of these cemeteries, please email Cheryl Hall. (Her email is at the top of the page.) Thanks!
