Dear Jan.. Sorry to tell you, but the LDS church does NOT microfilm ANYTHING with out the WRITTEN permission of who ever is in charge... AND if the diary is in the possession of your family then they had to have been CALLED and ASKED to film it.... and there will be a disclaimer at the beginning of the item on the film stating who GAVE the permission.. they did not break into your families house and make a copy of the diary..... in fact there is usually a copy of the orig. letter of permission. Now... anything that you give to them or any one else including the stuff that you put out on the internet becomes the property of who ever you gave it to unless you have given them WRITTEN notice that they are NOT to give the information out to any one..... then they can do what ever with it....... I am sorry that the person no longer lives at that addy, perhaps if you were to get on the net and see if he is out there, you may be able to see where he got his Information.. other wise check out and see what you can find in Butler Co OH about your family....

I wrote him a nice letter, Someone told me that the Mormon Genealogy Society now has a copy of his diary,thats ok, I am just wondering if we had told the people not to let it out side the family, I really wonder if they would have done it even thow they promised not to, I took a chance when I first made copies of it, if it maybe would have done something to the ink as it was quiet old, it was copied for me from the book its self, few years back, now realizing that, I make copies from the copies that I copied from my first copies that was given to me, make sence? Thanks, Jan. after my color came back, has I did not wont to write in haste.
