Chip: I have the same problem in Greene County. People are submitting wills, but they are the abstracts from Goldene Burgner's Book (you can tell, it's not a complete will). I don't put those online. I write back to the folks thank them very much for their submission, however since it is taken from a book that is copyrighted I can not publish it. Now if they find it on a microfilm in full text somewhere, then I will be glad to upload it. I've had no one scream at me yet. <VBG> You might want to suggest to the lady if she can get a microfilm of the WPA cemetery listings of that cemetery and transcribe it from that you will be utterly grateful and will gladly upload it and give her full credit. You'd be surprised what you get back in the mail -- somehow it works. LOL. Bridgett On 12 Jul 98 at 23:00, TNGEN-L@rootsweb.com wrote: > I have a strange problem again.
