Question about family tree
#11
I also do genealogy...and pay for all that goes with it...but I would do it anyways so I share with all of my distant family...many I have never met. I sent them the PDF's or pictures by email and they print their own. I am just glad others in the family share the interest even though they do not want to research...that is my hobby not theirs..its like quilting I make them for fun for my family not to be paid. I am just glad they like what I make and share my hobby by the smiles on their faces. I love this board because we all share not to make money from each other...we all share the same hobby and everyone here makes it fun...love sharing and seeing what others are doing and sharing.

Copyright is implied with the written word, but he doesn't own the copyright to the documents themselves.
It's just nice if you ask him if he minds you making copies for the kids, he did go to a LOT of work to research the information, and no little expense if he did it as I do, with Ancestry.com, and trips to Salt Lake City to go to the LDS Family History Library...I can't imagine that if he gave them to you with no charge that he'd want to charge you for copies for the kids...

=========================
My computer has a tool bar across the top, and one of them, the "FILE" one, has a place to click that says "Copy CD". And the original one stays the same. Then I tell it to eject that one, put in a blank one and I can put that copy on the new disk.

get someone that knows what they are dioing, you can get cd burner to do it, but with my genealogy stuff, I'd reather get someone to do it for me instead of ruining stuff I don't want to get ruined. um find someone that will do a trade/ table runners, gifts for christmas etc. cause some will charge, but again if you can get someone that will trade????

Today, I received 2 DVD's or CD's whatever they are called that has documents and photos of stuff on the family tree that he has found. My question is, since they look like he burned them himself, is it possible for me to make copies of them to give to my kids? And if so, can I take them like to computer store to copy for me or Walmart?
