I've added a bunch to the project images gallery, feel free to tag profiles with those images.

From the project page, go to "photos and documents", select the image, & below it, you'll see "in this photo." if you press [edit] the "tag" box opens up, just like in Geni mail. Type in the profile name until it auto completes. Tip: visit the profile 1st so it's in Geni's short term memory. You can use "search more" also.

Enjoy!

Michael of course - add town icons to profiles, that's why I uploaded -- to be used!

Not sure LOL cat should go on Colonial American profiles though, a bit ahistorical :)

Michael - tag the profile (if it has no other image we can find such as a tombstone or house) with the town icon they spent most of their life.

Just go ahead and tag using your best judgment. It's easy to correct or add images.

I've now added close to 90 Colonial American town seals (mostly from Wikipedia).

They are available for anyone to use for any profile they seem appropriate. The "primary" image on a profile can always be reset, so there's never a "mistake" to add a town icon!

Hope this method shows how easy it is to tag a profile with one of these images:

1) go to http://www.geni.com/projects/Chase-Lane-Rundlett-Huntoon-and-surrou...

Or you can navigate there from Projects > Chase, Lane (etc) > Photos and documents > View all (hyperlink in upper right corner)

2) select the image desired and click on it.

3) As example: http://www.geni.com/photo/view?album_type=project&photo_id=6000...

That's the Concord MA town seal

4) under the image, you will see

In This Photo:
Nathaniel Billings, of Concord, Jane Billings (Goodenow), Thanks Reade (Dill), Thankful Dill (Shepard) [edit]

5) press [edit]. This opens up a box where you can type in a profile name (hint: visit it 1st to put in Geni's short term memory)

6) The DONE button saves it and adds to the list. Press the profile name to return to that profile - and admire your handiwork. :)
