Hi Louise, Please understand I am a giving person also. I just give Harrison Co. Tx. Historial Socy. full permission to print, and to give us credit as the writes and it "must be used for non profit use". There are those that would take storys, print them up ,and sale them. This Story must always be free, and that why the Copy right, to try to keep those type people from making money off our work, but I'll let them read it FREE. About a week I'll have next instillment, and the next one after that (the last one) tells how this very old mystery (50 years) was solved and it was by genealogy process, but Police methods, Thanks Louise for the kind words. Regards, Carl Coffman In Wichita.

Those emails sure can get out of hand if your not on top of them and better to lay low until you can get to all of them. I am waiting with much enthusiasm for the next installment of 'AND AWAY WENT THE RABBIT' Good work. Now for that copy write thing. I have a number of Texas pictures and genealogy on line. I figured I put it all there as a means to give anyone a lift up to a limb on their own tree. I just took my gedcom off line because I found two dates that were not correct. If everyone was that particular, I guess we would not have to worry about copy writes. They could find a family a lot sooner, be more sure it really was their family and not be concerned about how much they were gonna make off a lot of passed on peoples birth and death dates. I don't figure I will ever write a book on all my Kin, and I sure don't put anyone down who does. I am only concerned with the ones who ain't kin who collect others and steal what they don't have a right to sell. Yup.. if it's public it isn't copy rite, only your page and what you write personally is protected. God Bless you all. and enjoy the Lords day.
