Hi Maggie,
Question, how does an obituary become the literary property of a newspaper? Obituaires are written and prepared by the family of the deceased as part of the funeral home package for which they are charged. The funeral home takes care of submitting the prepared obituary to all the newspaper the family request it to appear in and they are charged for each according to the rates of the various newpapers. I understand that if your source of the obituary is a specific newspaper that they should be given credit but do not understand why there should be an issue of the newspaper having to give permission to post a copy. These days many funeral homes also have websights and post obituaries there as well. Funeral homes also make up bookmarks and other items which they print the obituaries on It seems to me that with so many places obituaries are found these days that it would be hard for anyone entity to take any legal action for posting an
obituary transcription. I would think if permission is needed, that it should come from the surviving family member(s) that prepared the obituary since they are the ones that composed and paid for its publishing, Many people write their own obituaries and I suppose in that case control of it's use would pass to the survivor as well. Now if your are talking about posting an actual scan of a specifc newspaper, I could understand that there may be a requirement to get permission from the newspaper to do that. Then also there may have been a time period in the past from the 1930's to present where an obituary was actually written by someone on the newspaper staff, but in todays world this is rarely the case with the exception of a special feature the you see where a newspaper publishes it's own special obituary of an prominent individual.
Just some thoughts. I no legal expert but it just seems to me that we are giving newspapers to much control here. I get many requests directly from family members of the deseased to post obituaries and I think they should have every right to grant permission to do so without being concerned with whether it is ok with a newspaper or in many cases the several newspapers that carried the obituary.

Hello and Happy New Year to you Sara,
If you can't contact a newspaper and it's later than 1945ish you can
do an obituary extract.

If you use that you don't need permissions.

Subject: [OHGENWEB] Obituares from newspapers
Hi everyone and Happy New Year.
I just had a submitter ask me about the archives project. She is going to be
putting in old obituaries as well as recent ones and asked me about this:
"in the submission instruction is says you have to - Contact local
newspapers to ask permission for the USGenWeb Archives Project
to archive their obituaries"
She asked me if I had permission from the current running newspaper to
submitt obituaries. I told her no, as I wasnt actively checking them and
that the obituaries are submitted by persons that wanted their obits in the
index.
I guess I am asking...
1. How should I be responding to this
2. How do you get permission for obits from newspapers that are folded or
merged (or merged again) into bigger newspapers or just died?
I usually take it with a grain of faith, the obituaries I recieved in the
past were from family members wanting to have an "online" memorial of their
loved one. I have had people take me to task, "why havent you got my great
great great grand uncle's 3rd wife's obit in my index." But then I recently
had someone threaten me to go to court, saying I had no right to have that
obit in my index because there was no given permission.
Then there are the weird ones, like..."I was renovating this house in
Springfield and in the basement, I found a headstone...uh is there someone
buried there and how do I get remove if they are there...."

I have asked Rootsweb for the login info - as soon as I get it, I can start
reassigning counties.
By the by, there are several people I have never heard from. And if I don't
hear from them by the end of January, I will put their counties up for
adoption.
Ann Anderson - Hardin Co.
Teresa Casiano - Lucas Co.
Dee Pavey - Highland Co.
Nola Rogers - Licking Co.
Does anyone know any of them?

How sad Mike is gone. He did a lot for the sites he maintained. Mike

Dale I know I have 4 counties right now but would like to maintain
Williams

long family history there and it would be so special to care for the
