    This is priceless. Now that I see what you've done here, I might add that if the image were still fuzzy, some of the photo improving apps might be able to sharpen the fuzz and make the text more legible.

    Wow! What a difference. Thank you so much for the tip! I have about 6 different records that are just like the one you showed and I know if I could just be able to figure out the letters or words of the document, it may unlock a brick wall for me also. Great tip!
