    1. [OHVINTON-L] Obituary Postings

    3. Dear Vinton County Researchers As you may have noticed the series of obituary postings from me...I have asked Mr. Weeese ( our list and web master) for Vinton county if I might post obituaries for Vinton county. I had previously only posted ones from the 1800s as I did not want to infringe on copyright stuff etc...Here is his reply! "I don't care if you post some obituaries and I doubt if any newspapers would care if you post 40 year old or more obits. After all, how could you possibly be hurting the paper (many of which are out of business now)? At any rate, all possible copyrights have expired for anything before about 1930, so there is no problem before that. " So with that in mind..I have started going through my FTM file index and looking at the death date..and if I have an obit I have been posting it to the Vinton county list...I have done some A's beforehand but all pre 1900 so I will do that...Is there anyone who would be intersted in doing the same? We could help each other more..even though these death notices and obits are considered secondary sources..it gives some things a starting point. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
