No problem! I have stumbled across a couple of people like that. Nothing like that unexpected surprise!

I saved from the .gov site. I clicked on download and then changed the name of the file to the name of the person I found and saved it as a jpeg image to my hard drive. That seemed to work for me.

PROBLEMS WHEN SAVING CENSUS DOCS:

double-check your Census docs after downloading as I have found that some were incomplete copies even though it said it was completed. I went back on a number of saved records to find it was only 1/3 of the page....You need to delete the 1st copy before downloading again....not sure what causes this error, but it happened multiple times on ancestry.com
