BJ,
One thing to add to Ann's message. If you are not trying to get into a club such as the daughters of the revolution or something. A list of your sources will also work in most cases. As long as your facts are correct. For example: Your great-great grandparents were married in McCreary Co. on Jan 14, 1913. You go to the courthouse and see the marriage record and write down the data yourself. This is a source that is valid and can be used. Hope this helps you some.

Hi Everyone,
I want to try to wake you all up about something regarding copyrights. Most
of us never give it a thought..we get and recieve pohots and documents all
the time. But theres a trap in here, and we all have to be aware of it.
To start, lets say we have photo or document that we want to share...we all
do it...and thats just super. BUT the thing you have to understand is this,
once you have passed what ever it is on to someone to post, THEY have the
copyright... you have explictely given it t
Hi, all;
In re-reading the message, I realized there was one more thing I needed to
mention.
There was a question about copying things from Internet sources.
In approving a pioneer certification or other such situations, the online
references are usually accepted IF THEY ARE (PRINTED OUT) COPIES OF DIGITIZED
INFORMATION (land grants, actual marriage, baptism, census, etc.)
Where most people fall down on the documentation is that an indexed entry
which SAYS when and where people were married, for in

Over the past few days Ive been buried under poloitiacl stuff, where my addy
could only have come from my mailing listings. Im also getting mails
"crowing" over Bushs election.
May I suggest that this sort of thing is not appropriate to these lists?
I dont have a clue if my addy was picked out of a "forward" list or what..I
do know, I dont appreciate it !
My politics, as my Religion, are no ones businees but my own, and I believe
we all feel that way.

The demand for "Primary Documents" has driven me crazy for years ! We know
someone was some where at such and such a time...weve got copies of it..yet
reaserchers rejecy what we found, because we dont have a "Paper trail" early
on. Is all our work to be rejected because we cant produce original
documents from that particular time frame?
I was told in chat the other day.." If you dont have paper, its not valid
"...now wait just a bloody minute ! If you KNOW what you Kow..and the

All,
I updated the Scott Co, TN website tonight (just under the wire to claim
a November update). Stop by and visit. The list of additons,
corrections and updates is listed below. I still have several pictures
and obituaries that you all have donated that I still need to put up.
Unfortunately, work (the one that pays the bills) got in the way so I
will get up in Dec. Please be patient with me if your donation didn't
get posted.

Have you gone to the DAR web site and check out the books they have in here library ? This is my second time to send my papers in they were sent back the first time because I didn't send my marriage and birth cert. I didn't find and death cert. for Roland or his wife . I got my grandmother death cert. and Roland was listed as her father. I hope this works. I also sent to West Virginia in Charleston for more paper . Maxine
BJ and all;
I don't know exactly what that "no copies" thing was about, as all lineage
societies and pioneer certification groups I'm aware of do accept copies of
original documents. If there is any question whatsoever, you would just have to
have a notary public or holder of the document certify it as a "true copy of
the original".
Unfortunately, although I do sympathize with your stand on the "paper trail"
question, there are generally some documents available to prove beyond a
doubt the names
Can we all get behind this project..it holds great promise.

I do hope and pray that each and everyone of you will take just a moment to
think about all those who worked so hard to prserve our Liberty......many
of them died. Or were forever maimed, or so damaged that they could never
again funtion in the world.
If you can, visit a grave and place a Flag..if you cant...at least think
about all those Stars hanging in the windows of Mothers..some white..some
Gold .
We owe them so very much, take the time to remember them on this, thier day
!
