Your proposal sounds really great. However, not all of us use FTM. I, for example, use TMG. I have not only my own research, but I willing to enter in the book, "The CALVERT Family, Cortland County Branch" John Betts CALVERT and its continuation by Charles Crossman CALVERT. To send that to your repository, I need to obtain permission from Rev. Robert Harvey CALVERT, Charles Crossman CALVERT's son. I feel he would extend that permission as little is known about our branch of the CALVERT family other than what we have collectively researched out and those publications. It will take me some time before this can be accomplished, and I do not want to infringe upon the numbering system you are proposing. However, as we are not part and parcel of the O'Gorman researched CALVERT's nor the Quaker branch, nor the Anita Calvert BOURGOISE group, nor the NICKLIN group, we do not fit neatly into the tree. Nevertheless, it is an important branch of the CALVERTs and there are a lot of descendants, I am certain, that are as yet unknown to us. I know for a fact, that many of my nearer line moved to Kansas after the Civil war and that there were other CALVERTs there, who may or may not be relatives. Please keep us posted as to the structure and means for this deposition. It is an answer to a concern that I have had for some time. I have plans to deposit my research in the various counties where our CALVERTs migrated to after the initial migration from Ireland. I would like to see the information posted or reposited in such a way that it cannot be lifted wholesale and claimed by someone else. I have had that happen already and it is mighty uncomfortable. I am a willing sharer of my work, but unwilling to place it where copyright would be denied for the research I have done. After all is said and done, I have put forth considerable effort and moneys to get it to the point that I have it thus far, and as long as I live, I expect to take my research forward. Thus, I would wish to reserve the right to make additions and corrections where I find new information. Anyway, keep up the good work.
