Photo Viewing Tip:
When inside the "Netfirms Picture Pro" photo gallery, keep clicking on the small photos until you can see all the photos.
Adding Photo Tip:
Add the caption at the same time you add the photo. You won't be able to see the photo at this time so if it is a group photo, you may need to jot down the names so you don't leave anyone out.

Mortenson Cousins Photo Album
 Below you will find some sample photos.
The rest of the photos are found in a photo site which everyone can access.
The photo hosting site is called "Picturepro" and you can add your own photos directly.
The Picturepro site is not real user-friendly so I've added some tips at left to help.
Click Here
to enter the "Netfirms Picture Pro" photo gallery.
Note: 19 photos have been added to the 2007 Branson, MO album.
If you have questions or need changes made to a photo, you may contact Marlys at
reunion@nemahaweb.com
for changes/corrections. Also check with her for "logon" information so
you can upload your own photos. There is unlimited room for more photos so add
as many as you like.
This website and the photo albums are excluded by the web crawlers
so names do not get listed in search engine indexes.
