VIDEO CLIPS created by Ruth Russell

This index is for use on DVD only, where all videos can be stored. As of June 2002, videos from the Anderson, De Vos, Horan, Illian, Jurgenson, McFarland, Roscoe, and Salyer families have been transcribed here into MPG format using Broadway and Adobe Premier software. Links to these video clips may also appear in picture and genealogy sections of this CD.

Newer versions of Windows Media Player allow the viewer to adjust the sound and image quality to enhance the video. For example, some videos may seem too dim or bright : these qualities may be adjusted. It is possible, with effort, to make such alterations a permanent part of the file, depending upon the viewer's tastes. Original videos were done on half-inch analog tape, which will probably be unreadable by about 2010.
