First, are any of the 3 books still copyrighted? If not, I would love to have a PDF file for all of them. This would be great to add to the website for the 1st and 2nd Germanna Colonies (unofficial), on a separate page, listed in the Index on the Home Page. The reason I mention copyright is that if such has been renewed, we couldn't copy the data and put on the website; however, if there is no copyright, "fair game". BTW, Rootsweb/Ancestry IS kind of "touchy" about advertisements and such, but if you merely mention the name of the website and give the name of a book found there, without prices, it should be OK. Thanks, Sarge
