I keep all the images private, with the data public. But please be careful about "data". While the data in the image is freely usable, if you copy a list of the data (e.g. a list from Ancestry of all the John Doe born 1895), then that list is the property of Ancestry. If you copy the data into your database / spreadsheet, alter the headings, etc - and then show the results, then that is your index. There is probably a grey area there - but it is better to try not to "cut & paste" from others' work. So - I have hundreds of thousands of entries from Ancestry's census index. As much as I'd like to, I cannot publish this as it is not my work to publish. So - it remains my own private source of data. As always - if you are quoting from a document, then it is always better to cite the source. Not only does that recognise the efforts of the people who provided the data, but it helps you meet the Terms & Conditions that most on-line sources place on you. Chris
