Hi Folks, It's been awfully quiet lately on the list. How about a roll call. Send a message to the list and tell us a little about some of the Adams County families you're searching for. Do you have any memories or stories you'd like to pass along? I'm working on a new feature for the Adams Co. web site that will provide a listing of cemetery records in the county. It will be the same format as the CCHelper query system, so the family surnames will be indexed. You'll be able, when all the cemeteries are input, to search for a surname, without knowing what cemetery the individual is buried in. There are already a couple of folks who are willing to help by supplying cemetery records. If anyone else is interested, I'll give you the format the inscriptions have to be in. I'll also let you know when the system is up and running. By the way, be aware that copying inscriptions out of a published book may be a copyright violation. Facts cannot be copyrighted, but format, commentary and interpretation can be. When dealing with cemetery information, the safest bet is to walk the cemetery and copy the inscriptions, unless permission can be obtained in writing from the publisher of the book. The same is true of obituaries in newspapers. The facts cannot be copyrighted, but the way they are put together and the writing of the obituary can be. If you are going to quote obituaries in a publication or on the web, as I have in my family genealogies, you must have permission of the publisher.
