Rose and others on this list. Most of us are aware of the Copy right laws but obviously some are not. Here are a couple of internet sights that can get you up to speed on these laws: http://www.copyright.gov http://www.benedict.com http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html If you still have questions just Google "Copy Right Law" and you will get a zillion hits. Rose, I know you were not trying to infringe on any of the Historical Societies copy rights but as an author of my own Buford Family genealogy book: http://www.bufordfamilies.com/bufordfamiliesinamericabook.htm I know how much work goes into the writing of a genealogy book not to mention all the money that is also involved. I am still trying to re-coup the money I spent the ten years before publishing my book. I would not hesitate to sue anyone owning my book if they took it upon themselves to republish any part of it no matter how small a part it might be. I sent a final rough draft of the book to the Library of Congress for the express purpose of getting a copy right date before it was ever published.

Hi, Don, I just got this message from the Rockcastle County Historical Society: Rose: I guess you know that we have a Copy rite on this Book and you cannot copy more that 15 pages. >From what I see you are going to be copying more that you are allowed to copy. Dorotha Jean Shoemaker, Rockcastle County Historical Society, INC. Here's my reply: Actually, I didn't know that. Perhaps, there is something the historical society could do for all these researchers that don't have access to the book, while generating funds for your society. You might have this put on Rockcastle's website and for a fee, copy the info and send to researcher's requesting it. When I've copied from any book in my library's genealogical section, there has never been any info posted about copyrights. Thanks for this info.
