Ok. Let me see if I understand copyrightable material. An obit is not necessarily copyrighted as there is no real originality. They all basically follow the same pattern: so-and-so died, date, services will be, survivers are,... But a memorial is a mini bio of the person written by friend or family and therefore very original. So, I can post family obits to genconnect boards, but not the accompaning memorial? Is there any place where it would be accepted for the memorial to be posted? Can it be included in a compilation of family history, if the book is not sold for profit? I ask because I have several memorials on various family members (about 50 yrs ago) that help to make these people *alive* & I really want to share them. thanks for any feed-back. christine _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
