Copyright and Ethics

 

I have been compiling these pages since my retirement in 1999. Please feel free to link to them but I would ask you not to copy any of them and pass them off as your own work. I know of at least three websites whose owners have blatantly plagiarized my work and one actually admits it.
No doubt there are more!

A website like mine where a set of links is arranged into a compilation, is copyright protected.

The Copyright Issues page at Cyndi's List of Genealogy Sites  has links to several excellent sources.
