Hi If your cousin has gone round those graveyards and made notes of all the inscriptions then that's fine, you're being generous in sharing. If, however, what she has sent you is the graveyard transcriptions as published Memorial Inscriptions of Langholm Old,Staplegordon and Wauchope Church Yards (Paperback) By (author) Brenda I. Morrison, By (author) Robin B. McCartney then perhaps you might like to re-consider. Apart from the issue of copyright, do you not think that giving the information away for free might discourage the transcribers from doing any more graveyards? The cost of a book is a lot less than a trans-Atlantic airline ticket......and without the local transcribers that will be your only option.

  Hi, I agree with Irene, its fine being generous with your own work.  If it is the work of someone else then it can't be called generosity, can it?
