I know when I go to the library or when someone sends me information that whole pages were copied to save time. I have loads of papers here where I have searched my family and there are many other names listed. I try to send these names out at times, but I am on so many list, and it gets confusing to try and share, yet I feel bad that I may have something that would help others and just can't get it to the right person. I bet there are many that have pieces of information that has been collected this way. Some of us may have a piece of info that would break down a brickwall for someone else or provide a missing link. Is there a site where these things could be donated so everyone could search for names? If not could one be made available? Just a thought. Connie
Connie One problem with posting that kind of information is that you may be violating a copyright. This is not a problem where the information is a copy of a government document. The latter kind of document is especially important to share, especially deeds, wills, etc. The Federal Census information might not be as important, since more people have access to that information. However, local census information is harder to come by.
