I held back a day or two but would like to throw in my two cents worth. I think one excellent approach people might consider is that taken by Dick Weber (search 'sprague project' at google and a link will display). His online database is searchable just like your home pc genealogy programs. As administrator, he controls what info is updated. He recognizes there will be differences of opinion and publishes the known conflicts. There is a cost for the genealogy program 'TNG' 'the next generation' but it is (my opinion) modest. There is also a monthly fee for site hosting which again (my opinion) is modest. Worth taking a look at. Having said all that, if we could all live another hundred years, I have no idea what will happen with all the computer databases but I suspect books will still be around in paper and on shelves.

Have you checked on the copyright on this? If my memory serves, he wrote this set in about 1937 and he and/or his heirs might object to your putting it out on the internet. Better safe than sorry!

Hi Jan, There is no problem retyping names, dates, etc. from any published work into a database. The copyright issues would be involved if I were to scan the work and put it online or otherwise redistribute it. Additionally the Jacobus work is only a part of my large database, not an entity into itself and I source every entry as well. I've been typing since December and am only about 1/3 of the way through. It is a very time consuming project. Thanks for writing though ....
