CONTRIBUTIONS OF GENEALOGICAL MATERIAL:
I would greatly appreciate any contributions of genealogical records.
At its best, the material would:
1) Be in digital format, sent as an e-mail attachment or copied and pasted into the e-mail message. If sent as an attachment, TEXT format is best.
2) Avoid complicated text formats: that is, without indents, tabs, double spacing, etc. Please have hard returns only between paragraphs and not between lines of text!
3) Site all sources. Something simple which states what
and where and who is fine, such as:
Source: Will Book B, pg 12, Mercer County Will Book, Mercer County Courthouse,
Mercer, PA
Transcribed by: Joe Smith, Mercer PA [address, e-mail, etc is optional]
In the case of contributions to Family Groups/Family Trees, sources are
not needed.
4) Do not send material which violates Copyright restrictions.
I'm a freelance illustrator, and my ability to make a living depends on
other people repecting the copywrite laws pertaining to my work. The same
goes here. If I have any question as to the ownership of the material, I
will not post it until I can be assured that there will be no copyright
violations. It is for this reason that you will find no material from commercial
CDs here, despite the great genealogical value of some of the material found
therein. If you send material which referrences a specific entry from a
specific CD, that is acceptable.
CORRECTIONS:
I've tried to transcribe the material exactly as presented. If you know
that your great-uncle Ed used McDannel instead of McDaniel, despite the
records showing McDaniel, let me know. I'll put the correction in brackets
next to the original text. But the original text must stand as is.
COMPLAINTS AND SUGGESTIONS:
Let me know what you think! Can I make the site more accessible? Have I
left out any sources or record types?
