Hi Everyone. I know that Facts cannot be copyrighted. The situation I'm in is this: 1. The County Clerk in 1974 allowed for this person to Copy all the Birth Cerfd. info. that would be on them. In fact it looks like photo copies. Well, the County Clerk Now will only let you see the index and will not allow them to be copied. I don't see Copyright info on this booklet. Can I use it will out getting in to a big struggle? 2. the County I live did a specil City Census for 1888. Just for the city. The Genealogy Soc. Copied it(handwriting), I have seen it once in the county Clerk office but it was grabed out of my hands before I could copy more than one page. They will not let me copy because the Gen Soc. Has the info. So, where do I stand with the law and the Gen. Soc. having a monopoly on that information. P.S. I wasn't suppost to know abt it(the 1888 city census) in the County Clerk's office. Thanks For your time, Candi
