Please can you clarify about copyright. AS I understand it (and, of course, I may be wrong) one cannot copyright information which is in the public domain (such as BMD information) but can only copyright your own presentation of such material - ie formatting and layout. Presumably, if one aquires information from the Hampshire OPC pages at Knightroots and incorporates it into one's genealogy reports, web pages etc, with a source citation such as "Hampshire OPC at www.knightroots.co.uk, citing XYZ Church Baptismal Registers" this is quite acceptable and doesn't contravene anyone's rights? -- Jenny M Benson
