I don't charge for helping people. I also don't
do what people ask me to just because they ask.
I decided a long time ago that this was my hobby
and I would only do what I was willing to do. I
have had many outrageous demands over the years.
In the past, I have charged expenses. In the
early 1970s, I charged 4 people. A lady from
Florida, a man from Texas, a soldier stationed in
Germany and a lady in Texas.
I sent the lady in Florida about 10 full pages
typed and a bill for $4. She sent a check and a
tirade of a letter about how she was overcharged.
I returned the check and thereafter ignored her
correspondense. She wrote me at least twice a
year until she died and even had her cousin write
me wanting me to do more.
The man in Texas very politely sent me a check
for all the Green marriages in Forsyth County
(less than $10).
The poor soldier away from home (I don't
remember if he paid or not (he was a Brigadier
General, just didn't say so)
and
The lovely lady from Texas would send me $10.00
for photocopies which were 25 cents a page. When
that ran out, she would send more when she had it
and I would copy more. (I was copying a long
estate administration. She sent me back family
info and even a picture to share which appears in
Garland's and Annette's books and maybe Don's.
She allowed me to use some of her material online
and we email occasionally.
Sybil McRay of Hall County told me in the 70s
that she had made up a form letter that said she
would send all the information she had on a
surname for $25.00. She placed all her files in
the Chestatee Library for free use there.
I borrowed the money to print my two books
(Cemeteries and Census 250 copies each). I sold
them for $20 for the Cemetery book and $10 for
the census Book. It took about 9 years to do
them and another 12 years to sell all of them.
As to what people charge if they do charge:
What is reasonable?
How far is it to the cemetery?
How hard is the grave to find?
How long does it take to clean it and how many
shots does it take to get a good picture?
Are they having to take off work or pay a
babysitter to go?
Balance that against what it would cost you to
travel to the place to do it yourself.
Since GaGenWeb is for free online genealogy, I
don't think we have to concern ourselves.
Any private arrangements shouldn't take place on
our websites or mail lists anyway.

Hello everyone,
Several months ago Jimmy and I were going to do a contest for a new logo
that matches our REAL NAME GaGenWeb. We put it off a couple of times, and
now I believe we should get back to this as I mentioned to the other RCs the
other day.
I believe we should have a few rules for the contest, and thought I would
ask for other suggestions: Here are some of my thoughts along with a couple
of other RCs comments previously:
Ten Commandments of the Contest
(1) No copyrighted images, wording, etc. i.e., Do not covet your
neighbors work ...
(2) Must incorporate items pertinent to Georgia. (No peaches please).
(3) The graphic would become the official logo of GaGenWeb project and
would be "given" without charge to the project for permanent use.
(4) No politically incorrect terminologies or graphics. (Nothing offensive
to anyone if possible).
(5) You must have one image that is TOTALLY TRANSPARENT in gif format and
one in jpg. other types are ok as additional, but not mandatory.
6) The Text and graphics should be defined legibly, and the sizes should be
in close proximity to:
1) 2.472 X 0.917 (72 resolution) 178X68 pixels
2) 2.0 X 1 - 3/4 3) 1.75X0.750 inches or in pixels 126 - 54
4) 3.25 X 1.25 inches in pixels 234 - 90
(7) Must have the wording GaGenWeb on the graphic
(8) Deadline Submittal: Oct. 6, 2003
(9) OPEN
(10) OPEN
If anyone has any other suggestions on what the contest rules should be
let's hear them.
Let's have some fun with this contest. I thought I would ask several people
from other states to do the first judging and then let the cc community
choose from those that they pick, what are the thoughts on that process?

Speaking of digital cameras - I had someone approach me
in another county/state and ask about taking photos of
tombstones for folks who couldn't come in person to do so -
ie out of state folks.
They proposed that the charge cover their expenses - which seems
reasonable. I did tell them that their charge of $20 each was,
in my opionion unreasonable.
When I first saw the 'offer' I was thinking - hmm, I do these, that
I can find for free for I can usually stop at cemeteries on the way
home from work.
I'd be interested any members here, thoughts on such.
Thanks,
Tim

I am not transcribing the records just indexing them, by the plaintiff and
defendant, type of case, and a brief synopsis of what and who was involved.
There's too much info for me to transcribe, and the courthouse only wants an
index, they don't even want the synopsis. I am taking longer than I should
already, by reading each case and doing a summary.
I did include remarks made by people that were particularly colorful so that
it would be understood how harsh someone was treated. That will remain in
my records, but for online purposes I want replace the cuss words, and still
keep the original intent.
I have gotten great ideas so far. Thanks.

records as they are found and not to alter the original wording. My
suggestion is to follow that instruction when transcribing any data from
orginal sources. Many early transcribers substituted words and omitted
words as they took the license to do so and they sometimes made assumptions
that were in some cases errouneous and then later researchers copied those
transcriptions as the gospel...and errors were repeated over and over....I
do hope that this will be of some help. You can do a search online for the
National Board of Genealogy and send them a query and I feel certain they
will advise you to transcribe the words as you find them without making any

I like the idea of the Blacksheep site, wonderful!
I do put warning labels on material that may have remarks that aren't PC any
more. The early newspaper transcriptions, for one, uses the words negro or
colored, and nowadays we shouldn't use those terms. I don't find them
particularly harmful, so I have not edited them, just put a warning on the
site.
Thanks!

If your sensibilities won't allow you to put up an exact transcript I would
suggest that you put up the words as n . . . . or f . . . or f . . . . . . .
everyone will know what they are and yet you haven't posted the words that
you didn't want up. I guess these days that might be a good idea simply so
that when the site is visited by the authorities you don't get identified as
condoning hate. The problem with these new laws about hate crimes is they
presume that a judge and jury can determine what is in the perpetrators mind
and heart. I think that that takes a lot of presumption which I don't think
rules of evidence can really be applied to. I think most of us were really
only anticipating things like prostitute and possibly even whore but if you
are dealing with trial transcripts you are going to get whatever the
individual on trial had to say and I am sure that that could be really
raunchy. The other thing that you might do is make some sort of note that a
complete transcription is available offline by direct email contact.

I fully agree with the others on this one Amy. Historical facts should not
be covered up. Unless, as some have already mentioned it is a 'recent' event
that may hurt or harm the living in some way.
In fact some are actively searching for the 'outlaw' type ancestors so that
they may join the Black Sheep Society. There was a recent post to the
Florida list in which the Orland Sentinel newspaper was asking for people to
share their black sheep ancestors that had been found in their research.
Maybe you could even put a link to The International Black Sheep Society of
Genealogists on the page.
http://blacksheep.rootsweb.com/
What about a "Warning Label" at the top? Many television networks use them,
even the news will often warn of violent, graphic scenes that some may find
too disturbing to watch. You could state something like: The following are
transcribed exactly as found in original documents and the language may be
offensive to some, and highly offensive to others. Perhaps even state in
this note that there are what some may consider vulgar expletives, racial
derogatory remarks....blah blah blah...you get the idea. Or if the language
is just entirely too bad to post, perhaps insert the word 'expletive' for
the original and as Donna suggested before, the case numbers etc, where the
originals may be found if someone needs it for their genealogy purposes.
Don't know if any of you have ever checked out this site the Old Bailey, it
covers court cases from the 1700s and early 1800s I believe. They have
posted the word for word testimony of the witnesses, and to say the least
some are VERY graphic. Very interesting site!
http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/
Sharon
In those cases Amy, I would use something like
(snip profane) or
(snip racial) or
(snip vulgar) or
(snip offensive words)
It sounds like you are into the transcripts of
cases. Before they used tapes, they used to type
up what the court reporter took down. The rats
got into many of those in Forsyth County and the
Clerk of Court in the 1960s had to throw out
boxes of shredded papers.
You sre going to find some of those terms even in
listing the charges. One of last cases I sat on
as a juror, the charges were Terroristic
Threats,that (snip defendent) did put Ms (snip
privacy) in fear of her life when he threatened
her by saying that he would shove his shotgun
(snip vulgar).
From the testimony:
Prosecutor "And when (snip defendent) made this
threat, where you in fear for your life?"
Witness: "(snip vulgar), I knew he didn't have
the (snip vulgar)."
Just an example.

I don't want to change the intent, just needed to be sure about what words were not allowed to be used on a family genealogy site.
