    Default Help needed for reading some handwriting

    Hi all

    hoping someone can help.
    My relative seemed to have disappeared for 14 years and I have been trying to figure out where he had been.
    I found a register of him travelling from Winnipeg Canada to USA. The document has his last known address but I cant read it all. I know it says "hospital" No idea on the first word
    Image is here =
    Knowing where he was will help. I have another document that lists some medical conditions but that is also hard to read.
    If anyone can help with this that would be great

    Central or General Hospital.

    Where is the image? All I can see is "Image is here = ". I have found this with other threads. Is there something I should do to see the attachments?

    The image seems to be unable to access now, but it is either Central or General Hospital.

    MagPieDame if you wish to let others view the image here are the instructions for uploading to Brit-Gen. I do hope this is not how you did it previously because if it is we have a problem for Admin to sort out

    The first step is to make sure that you are in Go Advanced mode on the Brit-Gen thread where you want to place the photo. Click on the picture frame in the row of images above the reply box. (6 from the RH side). The box that appears requires a URL address.
    You have to upload your photo to a free site which will provide a URL address. I use Postimage which is very simple.
    On the home page of Postimage click on 'Choose images' then find and click on the file you want to upload where you have the photo stored on your computer eg Pictures. Then click on the particular folder that holds your picture and Open it. Choose your photo, click on it and click on Open. You are now taken back to the Postimage page where you are given a choice of 9 links. Click on the URL 'Hotlink for forum' Now right click on the URL address and then click on Copy. Go back to the reply box on the Brit-Gen thread and in the URL box right click on your mouse and from the menu click on paste. The URL for your photo is now ready to be posted on the forum along with any information you have typed in to accompany it.
    There are other free sites from which to upload images with URL addresses if you want an alternative.
