Hi,

Anyone who goes to a cemetery and personally records the information from
the tombstones can post the information on their website or can contribute
it to a genealogy web page to be posted. In fact, one of the Old St.
Bartholomew members sent me the listing of a Dorchester Co cemetery that a
hunter found while hunting.

The complete listing copied from a copyrighted book is a violation of
copyright law.

Jane
