Blackford County has just recently changed
affiliations, This mailing list is not affilaited
with any organization and is basically for discussion
of history and genealogy of the county.
The State Coordinator of the Indiana Genweb which is
affiliated with USGENWEB has decided to copy files
from the Blackford Co. IN (ALHN) because she thinks
that since the website was once affiliated with USGW,
all files and documents done by the volunteers who so
graciously shared their time and effort in putting
them online, belong to the USGW Project ONLY and is
not to be shared with other organizations.
The USGW Project is only an affiliation and does not
owe anyone's files or documents put on the web. The
formatting, idea and creation of the files belong to
the volunteer and under that the copyrite practice
protects you from individuals who think that all files
shared by others belong to them.
I posted a message earlier on this board that persons
who had sent files to the Blackford County IN website
should write and let me know what they wanted done
with their files. I have that list and I will use it.
There are two other organizations that provide
genealogy and historical information other then USGW.
A sharing of information for the researchers is far
better then the act of competing to see who can
provide a better webpage.
Sincerely,
Sarah
