Bill, Actually, the Family Bible records come from the Gen Society of NJ. I don't know who owns the original Bible (maybe they do or maybe they have photocopies only). Since the original inscribers of the Bible are long since dead, it's not a copyright issue. I certainly don't own a copyright to it, so you can keep it on your page. The U.S. copyright law was rewritten in 1978. According to the "New York Public Library Desk Reference": "Works created before 1973 are protected for 28 years from the time they were first published. The copyright may be renewed for an additional 47 years. Works created since the beginning of 1978 may be copyrighted for the life of the author plus 50 years after his or her death. For works made for hire, and for anonymous and pseudonymous works (unless the author's identity is revealed in Copyright Office records), the term is 100 years from creation or 75 years from first publication, whichever period is shorter...." "However, anyone may make fair use of copyrighted material. The definition of this term depends on who is using the material, how much is used, the percentage of the entire work that the excerpt used constitutes, the purpose of the use, and the effect such use may have on the ability of the copyright holder to derive income from his or her creation...."

A Freedom of Information Act request gives us access to government records. ---Robin
