DearMYRTLE Answers Questions About Scanned Images of Original Documents

Last week I posted a question to the DearMYRTLE forum trying to figure out guidelines for scanning copies of original documents and posting them to my blog.

You can find her answer here.

Basically, vital records (birth, marriage, death) are not copyrighted and can be posted, but caution should be used. Definitely don't post information about anyone living. Census records can also be posted if they were not obtained from a site that charges for access to them. An ancestor's journal may be copyrighted, so check into that first.

ThanksMYRTLE!
