Hi All, my name is Larry.

Google Earth technology is way out of my realm and I need help. I am the Genealogist in my family. We are having a family reunion and I would like to get a copy of the street in Google Earth where my grandmother was born in Brzyska Wola Poland. Besides my grandmother's house, I would show where other relatives and family friends house locations. According to Google the street is 3.8 miles long; which encompasses the total Village of Brzyska Wola. All the other area shown in the village of Brzyska Wola is farm land.

In short, is there a way to capture a project in Google Earth and print it out so it is somewhat readable?

Thanks in advance,

Larry:?:
