I believe that there might be a loophole in this. Under the original law, copyright had to be renewed. If it wasn't renewed, the item fell into the public domain. Once in the public domain, it can't revert to copyright status unless and until we do something with it, like index it or transform it in some way. So if the copyright on those old newspapers was not renewed (at whatever fee the LoC was charging at the time, then they are out of copyright. BUT BUT BUT, don't take my word or belief for fact. Check it out with the Copyright office of the LoC.

This is of interest to all Genealogist Did you all know that a new law was passed through Congress and signed by the President that extends the copyright law by another 20 years? What does this mean to genealogists? For one thing, those newspaper obits you want to transcribe and put on line are now protected for another 20 years. So if the obit was published after 1922 it is protected by copyright law until 2019. There is an article at http://www.usigs.org/signal/98-11-2.htm that explains more.

I'm searching for information on the parents of my great grandmother Cora E. Beede. She was born in Orange, Vermont in 1874. She married Fred A. Eastman, who was born in Topsham, Vermont in 1871. Her date of death is 1934. I'm also searching for information on the parents of my great grandfather Wilbur Tracy Tucker. He was born in East Brookfield, Vermont in 1849. He was married to Clemmie Edwards, born in 1859, in Charlotte, Vermont. At one time he owned a large farm in the Washington-East Barre area (early 1920's I think). I would appreciate any information anyone might have that could aid me in my search. Diane Florida USA

I have been advised that I should research the surname Dueckel/Doeckel/Döckel in the book called "Dictionary of German Names" (Deutsches Namenlexikon) by Hans Bahlow. I hesitate to go to the expense of ordering it when I am unsure my surname would be included. Does anyone know where I could look at this book in VT, NH, or MA? Or, is anyone who has access to it willing to do a lookup? Thank you for any response. Vicki DUCKLESS Flanders Keene NH

Ruth, I have most of these names also, My database contains over 7,000 ancestors, I have researched. Check out my home page, my genealogy report needs to be updated but I updated the index, which lists the names, birth, death, marriage and spouse of all my database, last month. My mom is French Canadian, I am a member of the American Canadian Genealogy Society. The address is: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/d/o/n/Debra-M-Donovan/index.html Happy Hunting, Debby

Ruth, You can also send a letter to the town clerk of where he was born and they should be able to provide you with his birth info. Which would have his parents names. Also his marriage record should have this info. Maybe you could find someone in NY who could research for you. Check out GenWeb for NY, there may be help there. The address is: http://www.usgenweb.com/ Hope this helps, Debby :-)
