The four-volume SOME PROMINENT VIRGINIA FAMILIES by Louise Pecquet du Bellet was originally published in 1907. Genealogical Publishing Company reprinted it in 1976, combining volumes so that now it is only two books. There is no index, so putting these books online would enable searching and increase their usefulness. Does Genealogical Publishing Company hold a copyright, do you think? How would someone go about finding out? 1200+ pages would be a lot of trouble to scan, if only to find that it could not be put online......
