Would You Like A Multimedia History of Your Scribner Family On A Disk Of Your Own?
We've heard you..... We have created a multimedia
presentation for the family of
John Scriven
of Dover, New Hampshire, as descended through
his eldest son John Scribner, Sr. and then through John's son Edward
Scribner, who moved to Waterboro, York County, Maine. This
multimedia family history CD is now available for purchase.
Actually, this works well for us because we are using all net proceeds from
the sale of the CDs to support the hosting of this website.
 | When we initially made the decision to set up this cooperative
website, we opted for commercial hosting rather than the free Rootsweb
hosting. Although we recognized the cost in doing so, we were also
aware of the limitations of the free webhosting, and the extra tools that
the commercial hosting would provide. Thus, the concept of a revenue
generating support tool was born! |
| At that point, Laura Cooper Fenimore utilized the wonderful research
of Ray Scribner to develop an early Scribner family history narrative in
multimedia format. The content was originally available for download
through a FlipAlbum online streaming format. However, we ran into
continued difficulties in finding reasonably priced server space for the
streaming multimedia downloads. Dial-up connections are
painfully slow in the multimedia era, and rather than paring
back the content, we opted instead to offer an alternative for Scribner
families and interested researchers who did not have broadband, or who just
wanted to get copies for their own families. Thus, the CD Sales came
into being! |
| Fortunately for our group, the CD sales have generated just enough
revenue to keep the webhosting afloat for this massive endeavor! So,
if you are considering a CD purchase, remember that you are also
supporting the hosting of our fabulous commercial website! ALL net
proceeds of the sale are utilized to fund the hosting of this website.
[Have you noticed how much we have here now? This website now
consists of thousands of HTML pages, including an outstanding
image archive!] {Laura has nightmares about screwing up the backups!
That's why she sends them to Perry for safekeeping.} |
What others have said about the CD:
Lois Hill, February, 2003:
"My CD is running perfectly. It's a beautiful piece of
work. The graphics are out of this world! I love reading all the history. I
would definitely recommend this CD to others! The pricing is certainly fair.
I will continue to enjoy it for years to come and hope that my grandchildren
will do the same. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
We have set up a merchant account with PayPal that will allow you to
purchase the multimedia volumes online. Currently, the overall
presentation is separated into 9 FlipAlbum "volumes" [the separation is due
to a memory resource limitation in the FlipAlbum creation software]. This is a self-playing
CD with nine volumes spanning PreNorman English History through
the American Revolutionary War and shortly thereafter.
We used to offer single volumes, but people only purchased the entire set,
so I am going to simplify things and just offer the whole set for one flat
price with no shipping or handling add-ons. The cost of the CD is $20.00
[U.S.], and
that includes all shipping and handling charges [within the Continental U.S.
or Canada].
We have simplified the process with the above "CLICK TO BUY NOW" button, and you will be redirected to PayPal
to process the order. Once there, you will either login or create an
account using a major credit card.
Unfortunately, we only have a version for PC [no Mac version]. If you
are interested in a Mac version, please let us know -- if we get enough
requests we will seriously consider the matter.
If you have any questions about this before purchase, please
e-mail the webmaster.
