Maybe I can clear this up. When someone asks for others URL's of their Cook sites it's only for 2 reason's #1. To help visitors to their site to be able to find other Cook sites with out having to use search engines. #2. They are not only helping their vistors but helpping the webmaster of the other sites by getting their sites noticed. A far as your information being copyright and not to be used for commerical use, *sigh* we can only hope it doesn't get stolen. The only way to avoid having all your hard work from being taken and sold is not to list ALL the info on site, but suggest if they want more to write you and then you can determine if they are related and you can send the info. I only list the basic information on my family lines, things that are public information as Census and Cemetery records I have listed them in the full content. I read in a magazine resently that there's a new program out that will prevent your website from being copied or printed, but alas I can't remember which computer magazine I read it from (anyone one know I'm interested in purchasing this program). Some how if they do this all they will get is a copyright message and that they need to contact the webmaster for the info. Well I hope I've clear this up, Lisa Cleversey -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Co-List Owner COOK, List Owner BIRD & NYSTEUBE (Steuben Co NY) Heartland/Fields Community Leader -2500-2999 Heartland Genealogy Society & Web Ring Co-Chairman-http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/2416 cleversey's Home Page-http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/5421 cleversey@geocities.com -Icq #9492621
