Victoria, I know you addressed this to Linda and I am NOT answering
this for her!
BUT this same guy (I think) contacted me about a month ago.
I told him that he would have to contact the submitters. That the usgw
archives
held NO copy rights and so we had no authority to give permission to use
any of the data other than what was stated in the notice.
Linda, did I do right?
Jan
Yes, you did right.
Remember that
www.genweb.net is a domain registered by Randall Haight.
It looks like this person, Doug Hunkele, has used the search engine;
found the FREEMAN surname; contacted the appropriate file managers; will
now have to follow the instuctions of the "notice" and contact the
submitter.
Someone asked if the wording needed to be changed on the "notice" to say
"contact xxxx AND the archivist" rather than "or" the archivist. This
is
what I use:
