It is just common courtesy to give credit where credit is due. I corresponded with a lady recently who told me about someone downloading all of her work and claiming it as her very own. If you submit your family files to RootsWeb, you can secure what you do not want other people to have - I think this is notes, sources, etc.- but Ancestry.com does not have this feature. I have shared info. directly with some people who have given me credit for what I sent to them which I appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisa Coultrup" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 7:35 AM Subject: Re: [ALGREENE] List Activity > Hi > Well, in my University classes where I majored in Anthropology, we had to > write enormous amounts of papers, and proper citation format ( depending on > which is used, such MLA etc) is to always cite your sources.

An excellent source for knowing what you should include in your citations is EVIDENCE! CITATION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FAMILY HISTORIAN by Elizabeth Shown Mills. Elizabeth is an authority on genealogy, has held several positions with the National Genealogical Society and has several books that she has written. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisa Coultrup" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 7:35 AM Subject: Re: [ALGREENE] List Activity > Hi > Well, in my University classes where I majored in Anthropology, we had to > write enormous amounts of papers, and proper citation format ( depending on > which is used, such MLA etc) is to always cite your sources.

By "not sure of how other sites do the transcribing" I meant that I don't know if they send original documents to the host and have the host transcribe them or what. I hope not, that is a lot of work! Many folks are contributing transcribed documents and my sister (co-host) and I have done a bit as well. I can check with the Alabama Dept of Archives. I have received some things from them, but generally there is a cost associated with it. I know that some of the Civil War source documents came from the ADAH as well. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, July 30, 2005 8:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ALGREENE] List Activity In a message dated 7/30/2005 7:24:32 A.M.

We would LOVE to have all of your cemetery transcriptions on the Greene site but do have to be careful of copyrights. I have refrained from blatantly copying all of the lists in Mrs. Mary Marshall's journals because of the copyright issue, though the Greene site does contain a handful of cemetery transcriptions from this source. I use her transcriptions as a supplement when I transcribe a cemetery to aide in reading stones that are illegible.

In a message dated 7/30/2005 7:24:32 A.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes: I am new to the Greene GenWeb. I am not sure how others sites do the transcribing, The Orleans Parish website (New Orleans, LA area) had a group of us that we call NOVA (New Orleans Volunteer Association)....we are mailed lists by the Baton Rouge State Archives, type them up, email them to the site host and she posts them on the site. We have posted a HUGE amount of information. Maybe someone can get in touch with the Montgomery office and see if they would do the same thing? If you want to check out the stuff New Orleans has online: _Orleans Parish Archives_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/la/orleans.htm) _http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/la/orleans.htm_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/la/orleans.htm) We have births, deaths, Marriages, cemetery listings and pictures, obits and much more. All transcribed by volunteers. It's just getting us "excited" about finding new information and relations that keeps us typing away. It's wonderful to read the emails from people who thank the list for helping them find "that loose brick in their wall" just to make it come tumbling down. Lisa Cotten

Morning All! There hasn't been much activity of late and wondered how all is doing. There is currently 146 members, a substantial number to be sure. Speaking a new activity, Kim, (who BTW is the CC for Greene County) is currently a member of this list and while checking her webpage, came across several new files transcribed by several volunteers. She also has added her own query message board and has archived queries from this list from 2004. Kim; why haven't you mentioned the new files you have acquired by others to your site to the list? As a subscriber to this list and as a service to others here, it would be of interest to them to know of what is happening (genealogically speaking of course.) Also, is this a new trend? Having others do the transcribing of data to your webpage? It appears that no host for websites sponsored by USGW do any volunteering of transcribing data for the researcher, but have the researcher do the transcribing for them. Tell me, just what does a county co-ordinator do? I am sure other subscribers to this list would like to know also. I am not picking on you Kim, I am only trying to get a conversation going. Others may join in also. Thanks! Regards, Becky --------------------------------- Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page

Evening, Harold! I have been reading the messages left by you and others. What type of browser are you using? (Example..Netscape, internet explorer,etc?) If you are not able to find the files that you transcribed for the webpage, contact the CC (county coordinator) Kim Jacobson [email protected] or her assistant Cheryl Schmenk or the State Coordinator Richard White [email protected] Thanks for the compliment, but I do not host the Greene County Alabama website. I only take care of the mailing list which belongs to you, the member...(Grin!) Hope this helps and good luck! Becky. Harold Wright <[email protected]> wrote: Becky, I was not aware of the new Greene Co,AL homepage and thanks for bringing the new URL address to our attention. However, I wonder what happened to all the information that was on the old homepage. I descend from the very early settlers in Greene Co, AL including MORROWs and STOREYs. They came there in 1820. In fact, I wrote the article in the History of Greene co,AL book on my GGG Grandfather, Henry Storey, Rev. war veteran. He was Elder in New Hope Presbyterian Church but I saw no mention of it or cemetery on new homepage. What are the plans to transport info from the old homepage to our new one or, should we resubmit information to you? thanks again for accepting this challenge on our homepage.

Catherine, I still have no History, queries, resources, or drop down menus shown on my desktop at top of page. I tried to reduce the desktop letter size and remove the upper toolbar but nothing works. I did find them by going to the SITE MAP and all info I had submitted was in there on STOREY family. However, there are some transposition errors in names, etc such as STOREY being incorrectly spelled STORY in family pages, etc. Alhough I do have mid level knowledge on computers and teach them, I think something is wrong with the web page generation and I have never had such a problem before. HELP and thanks so much for your effort!!
