Hi Folks, Here is a great URL with lots of links concerning copyright issues: http://www.cyndislist.com/copyrite.htm Good Luck! Can tell you that vital statistics, such as births, deaths, etc can not be copywritten, but they can be placed in a book, therefore copywritten as far as the format that the book has been written in. Hope this site helps some. Sincerely, Cathy Cranford-Ailstock Windwalker@gowebway.com
