There are places who can do this type of search for you, but do not have an address. On the repub/reprint by Genealogical Pub Co...... was there only the 1933 date shown or was there also a 1961 date?? if only the earlier..... the book most probably was NOT renewed. Then you would NOT need GPC permission.... per Charlotte's earlier comment. Does anyone know how to check with the copyright office to see if a book was renewed??
