Alice et al, Perhaps the place you copied it from was at fault for not giving sources. Of course, you are free to copy on a List anything that is in the public domain, which would be most stuff pertaining to Mendon, unles someone puts their copyrighted book on line. Then they can expect trouble. I just copied what you posted, Alice, and find it a great addition to the materials I have on Mendon.

The | data | from the Annals can be used. as copyright has long since past. | I searched the web looking for the article again and couldn't find | it. | | I see the " Annal's of Mendon " by John G. Metcalf was not used as a | source.. This material no matter where it was extracted from , for | this article , originally had to come from the Annals, therefore had | to be reprinted in the sources given. | I know of no other original sources that contain this material , | for the History of Mendon?? | The Annals was written iabt. 1879. (my title page is missing-old | book) | | Not helping much. to answer your question, am I?? | OK All, what is your opinion on this ?? | Can this article be used on another's homepage?? | Alice | | ============ | >Are we allowed to put this in our notes and our files that we put online. | >Thanks Peggy | | | | ============================== | Ancestry.com Genealogical Databases | http://www.ancestry.com/rd/rwlist2.asp | Search over 2500 databases with one easy query! | |
