Hello Beverley/all, This is illogical on the library’s part. Why are the cards in a public place, freely available to copy? The internet is a public place - in this case a specific genealogical source. I have cited these records on my website as well. Shall I remove them now? Should Internal Affairs remove its BDM data because their source is the same as these cards? I can’t see why Beverley can’t put a copyright statement on her site, in the same way as surely the library has a similar statement. PC gone haywire again. I think we need to follow this up as a group. Beverley’s transcriptions are a boon to us particularly those not in Christchurch. Regards, Bryan Sent from Windows Mail

I know of other people researching their family from far and beyond who use Beverley's website. It is certainly PC gone haywire.
