Hi genealogists all over Recent emails to Aus-WA-L made me realise that being articulate is not necessarily an indication of knowledge. If you are interested in who owns what in regards to copyright of information, then you may like to do a little research in the subject. To assist you in this, I have found available at www.copyright.org.au (which is the site of the Australian Copyright Council) three relevant downloadable FREE fact sheets in PDF format. In fact these may interest all genealogists and the second one is particularly relevant to the discussion of indexes Family Histories G42 Compilations, tables and forms G66 Research & Study G53.
