    1. [NYORANGE] Gertrude Barber headstone transcritions
    2. juliasgenes
    3. I was recently told about the work of Gertrude Barber and her mission to transcribe headstones, will indexes, some family Bibles, and newspaper items from Rockland County up into central NYS. Thanks! I recently discovered hat on HeritageQuest, they have armfuls of Ms Barber's typescript pamphlets from the 1930s-1940s online and download-able, 50 pages at a time. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE COPYRIGHT STATUS IS, as all these works fall with copyright protection. Perhaps she or her estate has given HQ permission, or because they are considered facts, which are not copyrightable, I don't know. When I get around to it, I plan to try to contact HQ about this. Anyhow, to get to HQ, ask your local librarian how to do this. You can access HQ from home, usually though your library's website - if they subscribe. Yours, Julia
