Mike and Fred & others have made good suggestions. This should work out to our benefit. Without calling names, a few members of the society were most helpful in the day to day operation and in assisting Dr. Herring. One member did a huge amount of work on the Brown Collection and he mentioned to me how they were saved and their condition. This was in about 1997. Bonjour Don

Mike, Thanks for your suggestion in regards to the Leslie Brown Index Cards. I am another one of those who "sat at the feet" of Dallas Herring for years (about everyother week). We too, were "cuzins" and had great times together (and breaking bread). I can understand the frustration about getting the file online. It would be helpful, especially for those of us who are unable to travel as much as we one did. I'm pushing 78 and have to limit my travel. Also, I am a member of the Board of the Foundation, but ONLY ONE. Let's all be patience and see how this situation plays out. Have a great day everyone, Fred Hintze ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Cooper" <FirstFrontier@bellsouth.net> To: <ncduplin@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 9:39 AM Subject: [NCDUPLIN] Leslie Brown Cards & Foundation > Hi: > Think that before everybody goes ballistic with the Leslie Brown index > cards, we better get some more information from the Board of the > Foundation.

Hi: Think that before everybody goes ballistic with the Leslie Brown index cards, we better get some more information from the Board of the Foundation. The times that I visited Dr Herring and wrote and called him over the past 25 years he was very willing to give you all that he had. Sometimes I had to almost force money on him, as he was not that interested in it. The Library was his home and he paid all the expense himself. He had copiers, computers, microfilm readers and all that a normal library had. I am sure he had income from retirement etc that paid for all this. In the future, as I have been told, his home and library will be run by the foundation. I have no problem with paying them for the service. I paid Dallas for the info that I copied. No difference. As for the Brown documents they were recovered after Brown died and were being put in a dumpster by the city or county as the story was told to me by Dallas. The Brown documents are the work of a man who spent his life doing the research for them. Think if the Foundation has them they own them. Don’t have a problem with that. Dallas was my 3rd Cousin, 1 R and had the ability to draw out a family tree of about any family in Duplin County on a napkin, which he did a few times when on my visit we went to Dinner. Few times I would fly into Wilmington and drive to Rose Hill early and not leave till midnight. Would listen to his stories, which he had 1000’s of. Sure will miss Dallas, we have lost a true Southern Gentleman.

I think they may be afraid that they won't be able to make money from the cards if we have them posted online, but like I said before these cards will lead researchers to go down new avenues for information and will in turn lead them to going to the library to make copies of other materials.

Diane, I also paid for the cards I copied, like Alice, when we were at Dr. Herring's library, in 2004. Please keep up the good work. Jackie in CA.

Diane, You're doing a fantastic job. Here's another possible option. If they allow you to copy the cards, but refuse to allow you to post them on the Duplin site you could scan or transcribe the cards in microsoft word. Then you can distribute the information via e-mail to the individuals who requested their respective families.

Sloan, Dallas Herring was always free hearted with his information and would share it with any researcher that showed up on his doorstep. I am 100 % positive that he would back us up on posting the information to the site, especially since we have Leslie Brown's information on the main page linking to the family cards. I don't understand what the problem with the Foundation would be, except for the fear that they don't have the funds to keep the library up and running. I know of a couple of people that have volunteered to work (for free) at the library to open it up for researchers to come in and do research and unfortunately they were turned down, although the Foundation continues to say they don't have enough volunteers to keep the library open. I think they may be afraid that they won't be able to make money from the cards if we have them posted online, but like I said before these cards will lead researchers to go down new avenues for information and will in turn lead them to going to the library to make copies of other materials. I also hope they will stand behind Dallas Herring's dream of keeping the library open to everyone as well as sharing the information as he did.

Just FYI, Diane, I paid $25 for those little bits of info on the Kennedys from Dr. Herring. That leads me to believe those are my property. I may be wrong, but this seems logical to me.

Hi all, I have some bad news and some other news. For the bad news... I was contacted today by a member of the Duplin County Historical Foundation (not the same as the Duplin County Historical Society) saying that the Leslie Brown Cards as well as the Dallas Herring Library are their property. I was told I have to ask the Board permission to post any of the materials from Dallas Herring's Library, and it would be to their discretion to allow me and us permission to use and/or post the materials. I have written this person back and asked for a list of the Board members, their positions on the board as well as their contact information, so that I can ask "permission". As soon as I receive the list I will contact each member and try to obtain their permission. Now for the other news... As for copyright or anything else dealing with the cards, or any other materials that are or were gathered by any genealogist that is in the library, as long as the materials were not published and were gathered from public information there is and can be NO copyright. I am going to post a copy of the laws that will cover us on the posting of the Leslie Brown cards so no worries, the ones on the site will not be taken off line. Someone will be going to the library tomorrow to try and make copies of some of the cards as the library is supposed to be open Wednesday thru Thursday from 2-5 PM. I will let you know if they were able to make copies or not. If not, as soon as I get "permission" from the Board we will then begin making copies of them to be transcribed. For anyone that has sent or is sending a check to cover the costs of copying these cards, I will hold the checks, and if we are successful at making copies tomorrow they will go towards covering these costs. If not, I will hold the checks until we can get permission, or worse case scenario, are told no, that we can't make copies of the cards. If we are told that we cannot make copies I will send your checks back to you. Just wanted you to be aware of what is going on with this situation and I will keep you updated as I learn more. Thanks for your patience and understanding!
