As I am taking the information from this book and entering it into my FTM, with the intent of sharing it with anyone interested, I am wondering if I am breaking any laws. The book was found at Heritage Quest through the Godfrey Library online. It was published after the author's death, in 1930. I, of course, have no intention of profiting from the sharing of the gedcom, I just find it easier to make the connections in the family than the way it is written in the book. Is it illegal for me to copy the 50 page book and share it or the gedcom based on the book? Thanks for all input. Susan/CA
