Pat,
I'm so glad you're not going to let them push all your hard work offline. I
sat down at the computer specifically to ask you how you were doing, and
what your plans are. My grandmother Killarnia would say you've got gumption.

Hillcrest Cemetery, owned by the City of Weiser, has over 10,000

buried in it. No one has ever copied the tombstones. What I have put on
line is a computer printout I got from the City Clerk that I scanned with a
very expensive OCR software program. Unfortunately, the City does not even
have the dates of death of most of the people buried there. In this bound
book of copies (of copies) of old typwritten pages is a section with
Hillcrest Cemetery giving a alpha list with birth and death dates. It is
not complete. There is no date given for the information nor any notatation
of where it came from. This is what I want to copy and put on line. Now
since the IGS thinks they own the copywrite, how do I go about finding out
if I can legally copy and put this on line?
Maybe the current sexton knows where it came from? He may even have the
original.
