This Parham Family Photo DVD is a collection of thousands of photos, from tintypes of the old family to recent photos of their descendents. These photos relate to the Parham family and the related lines of Roses, Grishams, Mangums, Goodes, Casteels, and many others. There are also photos of cemeteries, bridges, structures, places and other interesting things.

I. How do you view the photos? The DVD is designed to run when you place it in the DVD drive on your computer***. It will automatically bring up a menu with various links. Two links on the Menu (the Rose link and the Grisham link) bring you to menu driven copies of the original photoCDs of those two lines. The rest just link to subdirectories containing individual photos of the other lines. If you choose either the Rose or Grisham links, your default Internet Browser will load. You will then be able to view these photos as if you were viewing an Internet web page. You will not have to be connected to the Internet because all the web pages are on the DVD. You will have a "Table of Contents" menu with clickable links to thumbnail pages. Each thumbnail page contains up to 15 small images of photos of a particular theme, such as "Our Oldest Photos", or "Lynn Parham's Family". Under each thumbnail (small photo) you will find a clickable link to a high resolution photo. This photo resides on a page by itself & can be made larger or smaller by clicking one of the two photo size buttons. Most photos have identities and many have descriptions of the circumstances, dates, etc of the photos. It is very easy to use. Also, instructions are given for manually accessing the photos for your own use, whether printing, e-mailing or manipulating with your own graphics software.

***If your DVD does not automatically run, you must manually run the ”autorun.exe” file in the ".autorun" sub-directory of the DVD. To run, just double click on the file. This will bring up the main menu. You can also browse the DVD manually, but the Menu program makes accessing the photos much easier.

II. What is the cost? We decided early on that we would not try to make money on this enterprise, or even try to cover the vast amount of labor we put into it. The object of the project was to preserve our Family Photo Heritage. To that end we have decided to "sell" the DVD for $5.00 each [includes postage] when mailed. This is merely to cover the cost of quality DVD blanks, labels, packaging and mailing costs.

NOTE: If there is any real payment requested, it is this! We want you to use the DVD and report any errors you find. These may include broken links or other DVD problems, or it may include errors in the identities or descriptions of the photos of your family.
