Folks, I suppose that's it time again to mention a few words about copyright in light of recent threads. Newspaper articles, history papers and even obituaries are copyrighted by the author or publisher, just like books. Please refrain from posting anything that has been published or produced by others, unless you have permission. The way the copyright laws works, anything older than 1923 is now in the public domain and can be posted freely. After that, there is a gray area in time where some items remain under copyright while others have lost that protection for lack of copyright renewal. Currently, anything written is under copyright, whether or not a copyright notice is printed in the publication or paper. Items like family stories written down have an implied copyright, even though the copyright notice is not given. To be safe, obtain permission from the author or publisher before you post, and then, include that statement with the article or obit please. If you wrote the history or biography yourself please state so. Your work is still protect by copyright even after you post it on the web. The person doing the posting has the burden to prove that he/she has the legal right to republish printed material. I love seeing this stuff just as much as the rest of you, but as list administrator, I need to ask you to observe the rights of those who own the original materials. Please do not take this personal. No one is in hot water. Thank you. Want more information on copyrights?

I found a cutout from the newspaper in my mom's things. I assume she knew Dr Tenery but I have no idea how/why. If anyone who sees this is related to him and would like to have the newspaper cutout, let me know. Saturday, October 6, 1979, Dallas Times Herald Dr. Robert Tenery, retired surgeon, dies Dr. Robert Mayo Tenery, 67, of 3637 Normandy, a retired hospital surgery chief and a former president of the Texas Medical Association, died in a Dallas hospital Friday after a long illness. Services will be at 4 p.m. today at Central Presbyterian Church in Waxahachie, with a private graveside service at Hillcrest Burial Park in Waxahachie. Tenery retired in January 1978 as chief of surgery of W. C. Tenery Community Hospital of Waxahachie, which was named for his late father.

Has anyone ever compared the information in the Czech Immigration Passenger Lists by Leo Baca with information of another family member in the Ellis Island lists? My great uncle (my grandmothers brother) came to the United States through Galveston. He is listed as MACH, Peter 19, Lipa, Moravia: *Cassel*, 7 July 1913; Ennis, Texas. My grandmothers information in Ellis Island shows a lot more information. A matter of fact the ledger has 2 pages! It lists relative left in old country with town name and house number and other things as well. It seems to me that the forms used by ships must have been approved by the US and should be the same for any port. I'm hoping to look at the microfilm of the Galveston lists and find more information about my relatives. Has anyone ever looked at the microfilm of the arriving ships? Can you tell me if they contain more information than Leo Baca's books? Bob

Marcia, I don't have the exact names you mention except Mary Elisabeth Cavender who is listed in the Cavender write up in the Ovilla History Book.

Marcia you might contact Carolyn Miracle [email protected] of the Ovilla Historical Society. They have published a wonderful book on Ovilla and surrounding area. I know there are Lawson's and Cavendar's in the book. It sells for about $60.00 and well worth the cost.
