By all means go right ahead anyway that is most preferable to each of you! Don't worry about me, as about the only thing that I do worry about from time to time is whether or not something may be under copyright protection. Thus far, each time that I have contacted any newspaper having published an obituary in question, each has advised so long as nothing was being sold commercially, they had no objection. I can't say whether all newspapers might feel this way or not, so please do be careful when posting obits later than about 1923 or so, to check with the publishing newspaper whenever possible so as to protect Rootsweb in this regard. >My thoughts are it would be best if we pick a certain day, maybe one you >say is slower, and put them on in alphabetical order, one or two letters >on one day, and the next letter/s a different day or following week. > Is it alright to do this on the list?
