Hi Judy, I just went to the FGS speical project and looked at several different states. The copyright notice was different on each state. Do you know anything about this and who owns the web-pages? Ancestry.COM? I will be happy to post my Mifflin County families there but I don't want Ancestry.COM to sneak up and say they own the copyright to my work.

Judy will have a much better answer but I just looked at several states and the following same sentence was included on all: Family Group Sheets are copyrighted by each individual FGS submitter Jess Davis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen McKellar" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 2:48 PM Subject: Re: [PAMIFFLI] Family Records Before 1800 by Raymond Martin Bell Hi Judy, I just went to the FGS speical project and looked at several different states.

Hi Karen, MyFamily.com, which owns Ancestry.com and Genealogy.com, provides free web space to RootsWeb. USGenWeb is in turn given free web space by RootsWeb, but IS NOT RootsWeb. In fact, USGenWeb county sites can be hosted on any server. If you run your mouse down the county list on the main PAGenWeb page, you'll see an assortment of webhosts being used: http://www.pagenweb.org/ The Archives project, the FGS project, etc. are all special projects of USGenWeb. The Archives is a transcribed document depository, and the other projects were created to make it easier for somebody wanting to look at a specific kind of record across a whole state, to do that from one place on the net. The USGenWeb official bylaws govern the special projects. Here's what the rule is about them: Section 3. In The USGenWeb Project, copyright to data contributed to any special projects resides with the contributor, who agrees that The USGenWeb Project, as a not-for-profit group, has permanent use of the data. The permanent use agreement is conditional upon the non-profit nature of The USGenWeb Project and will become null and void if The USGenWeb Project should ever cease to be non-profit. If you'd like to read all the bylaws, they're on this page: http://www.usgenweb.org/volunteers/bylaws.shtml Judy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen McKellar" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 2:48 PM Subject: Re: [PAMIFFLI] Family Records Before 1800 by Raymond Martin Bell Hi Judy, I just went to the FGS speical project and looked at several different states.
