First, I would just like to say thank-you for being so generous! And I agree wholeheartedly with you! However I know that the PRA does not allow everyone access to all their information. (I don't know if your information is available Free to everyone or if PRA requires membership to access your information.) Some of the information they have requires $ membership. I'm not against memberships (and I understand they have expenses, etc.) but I have 68 direct line surnames I am researching and you can well imagine the expense of joining a membership for each, when the usual cost is abt. $20. each. I just can not afford that, as I'm sure many can't! If you are sincerely interested in sharing your information with other interested Pennington researchers I highly recommend you send your information to Rootsweb where they allow free access to everyone all the time! Thank-you so much for your efforts to share the information you have learned! :-) Peggy ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 27, 1999 1:05 PM Subject: [PENNINGTON-L] C opyright Question > I have given the PRA permission to make all information in my past articles > for the Pennington Pedigrees and the books I've written available to anyone > at any time for any reason at NO cost other than what it costs the PRA to > copy and mail.
