Why can you not save the images?
When you can see the image, choose "Print" and follow the instructions.

Heritage Quest Online is available at many libraries, and some allow the user to log into HQ from home using their
library card number.

Yes and no. I spent two hours at the library doing that fourteen times.
When I got home and opened one to transcribe the info, I found that
each line was six to ten pixels high. Some illegible, some just barely.
The "old" viewer had a floppy icon which would download
a _usable_ image.

Both worth trying (after I mow my lawn!).
Thanks, Lesley and Dale
If neither works, the library owns all the microfilm
and ten microfilm scanners. A little slower, but
slightly better quality than I _used_ to get from
Ancestry.
Maybe I should change my technique. Instead of downloading
to transcribe later, I could read into my voice recorder
and transcribe from that.

Another change for the worse: I no longer see the option to offer
corrections to transcription errors. Did they remove it, or just
hide it?
My wife’s Aunt Jane is indexed as “Dane” and several people
of that surname (Dec) are indexed only as “Dee”

Go the "View Record" and on the left is a box that includes "Add
Alternate Information"
Choose what you think should be corrected from a drop-down menu
Then you get another drop-down menu for reasons why the information was
wrong, and one option is 'transcription error"
Next is where you can type in the correct name
You also have a box where you can give further explanation
I've used this many times, including just the other day, and just
checked and it's still an available option.

Must be related to type of subscription.
It is not present on the 1930 US when I access it at the library.
I do not have a personal subscription.

Three strikes; I'm out.
Print view is also 81 pixels per inch.
And they offer an “Advanced Viewer” from the folks
who think, “We support both kinds, XP _and_ 98”
Now let's see about Heritage Quest.

that option either. When I e-mailed asked, what I believed to be an
ancestry person what was up, I received no response to my e-mail.

get confusing to people who rely on their public library's subscription
is that some libraries do have full feature versions, while others
bought the library subscription - and in some localities, these could be
neighboring cities/counties.
If you can give me more details (either here or e-mail me directly) on
where to find your wife's family, I can send in that correction for the
family (and any other corrections you want to bring to their attention).

Thanks!
1930, NY, Cayuga Co., City of Auburn
Dec, Stanley (line 43, can't read the page number)
Caroline
Walter (my father-in-law, still living)
John
Jane (NOT "Dane")
Next door, higher on the page, might be Fronczek.
Walter married a Fronczek, not sure if from next door or not.
Caution, there were two families in Auburn with most if not all
of the names the same. That's why I mention the line numbers
and neighbors.

I've given Jane as the alternate information. Not sure how quickly
their turn around is - I've had times when I've made corrections and got
a 'thank you' e-mail the next day, and other times when it's taken
several days - I guess it depends on how many corrections they get in
one day.
Found the Fronczek family - as of 1930 no female children. Frank and
Catherine Fronczek, and sons Edward, Henry and Ferdinand.

"At the library" might be the reason, I have found at mine that images
can be trimmed and I suspect some of the protection software is to
blame. Plan A is to use the browser's "Save image ...." by right
clicking on the image and selecting from the menu. Plan B (as seems to
be the case with my local library) is to be sure that the image has
fully downloaded to the screen before doing anything else.

Plan B has always been necessary, else plan A may not get the whole
thing. Plan A is what Ancestry now says to do, which gets an image
of unusable quality.

Definitely not the family. Jozef was the father. I think I already
have that image somewhere. Thanks for the help!

That sounds like the browser involved (Internet Exploder ?) is only
saving the low quality screen image. IIRC unlike Firefox, IE will only
save the on-screen part of the zoomed-in image when using the
right-click and save image method BICBW.

At one time, the library had IE6, and clicking Ancestry's Save button
got a high-quality image. Then the library shifted to FireFox, and
clicking Ancestry's Save button got a high-quality image.
Now clicking the Save button gets instructions to use the context menu
which downloads an 81 pixel per inch image which is pitiful considering
it thinks the size is 8.5" x 11" minus a generous margin all around.
The heritage quest images are 220 dpi but the sizing is different.
They are not as good as the old ancestry images, but they are usable.
However, Heritage Quest apparently does not have an index for 1930.

From what I understand the Library Edition of Ancestry is a different
kettle of fish that the regular subscriptions.
