You should, as VA cc's, have gotten the following: one ballot for national coordinator Fred Smoot, Bill Oliver, Tim Stowell one ballot for rep at large Gary Martens, Roger Swafford, Holly Timm There was only one candidate for Southeast cc rep (Terri Pettit of KYGenWeb), so no ballots went out for that position. Freddie, did you get your state coord rep ballot? Linda

I have rec'd no ballots.

Linda, I voted for NC before July 5th. I voted again on Wednesday. How do I get a ballot for SE-CC?

Alley, there is only one candidate for the se-cc rep, so no ballots were sent out. You should have gotten one for the se-sc rep. candidates: Leigh Compton Shari Handley If you haven't gotten a confirmation on a vote, just vote again. If you still don't get a confirmation, let me know, or Jim Powell, on the election committee. Linda

Am I supposed to get a ballot for these? Southeast/Mid-Atlantic Region: States: Alabama, Delaware, D.C., Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia Positions: SC Representative & 1 CC Representative Another problem.........I voted for NC. The vote has not been confirmed. The AT-LARGE REP has been confirmed. I voted for both the same day. I voted again for NC. Still no confirmation. Alley Blackford Shenandoah Co VA cc

Now I know what you guys were talking about! I get digest version, so I just now got mine :) I guess you thought I was pretty loopy, hehe! Jeannie

I ran that image thru Abby FineReader, which is usually 95% error free, and it took some time, too. Once we get the images online, volunteers will probably offer to transcribe it to text so that the info will be in the search engine. Linda

Great! Because I tried to make them into a text file using Xerox TextBridge for OCR. Last night, I scanned three pages of the parish register in "Picture Publisher" (came with the scanner) and saved them in .jpg format. One of them I also scanned in TextBridge, but I wasn't happy with the results. TextBridge is a top rated OCR program but the font in the book is too stylized which causes the program to miss-read the text and make garbage more than usual. It would take way too much time to proofread and correct each page. I made a sample web page from the first page of the register and it can be viewed at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~vanewken/stpete1.html Unfortunately the first few pages don't have much in the way of dates and the "A" are missing for the early years. Being that New Kent is a "burned county", one takes whatever one can get. I finished scanning the index of the register which was 20 pages. I've decided that I'll do 10 pages a day. There are 186 pages left to do.

Greetings All! Last night I moved the James City County VAGenWeb pages to Rootsweb. They are now at http://www.rootsweb.com/~vajamesc/ I left a forwarding message at the old address. I'm preparing to link the Surry and James City Clusters to them. Is there anyone else I need to notify of the changes or anything else I need to do? Eve -- Eve S.

We are now able to upload scanned images to the USGenWeb Archives, thanks to the support of Rootsweb who provides the free unlimited space. Angela Ruley has uploaded scanned marriage bonds for Rockbridge County, and of course, we have census images for a few VA counties. So... Yes... we can put them in the Archives. :) Linda

I appreciate the response from you and Linda. Linda or Jeannie Watts: Would this be something that should reside on the archives site for New Kent Co? I don't know if you accept anything besides text. Christine "David W. Morgan" wrote: > That book is in the public domain. Go for it! > > David > > dmorgan@efn.org David W.

I'm no expert on copyrights, but have learned quite a bit since we started the Archives. Anyone can reprint an older book that is out of copyright, but... they cannot copyright it. They can only copyright their presentation and any additional information they add to the original. Also, licenses have to be considered, like the Broderbund census images cd's. Linda

Someone contacted me regarding scanning the vestry book for St. Peter's parish and placing it on web pages. She also has the parish register as do I. She was wondering if I would be interested in placing them on the New Kent Co., VAGenWeb site. I am concerned about any copyrights on the book. She says her copies of the books were published in 1904 so the copyrights have run out. My copy of the parish register was reprinted by Clearfield Co. of Genealogical Publishing Co. though I don't see a copyright notice in the book. Can anyone tell me that if old books have been reprinted but say nothing about copyright, can they be placed on a web page? If not, how about just the index pages? Thanks, Christine New Kent Co.
