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.

I would really like to share a lot of things, but don't 'cause I can't afford to reproduce them. Paper, ink, cds all cost & extras are just not in my budget.

Airwick156, that was very sweet of your cousin to share the results of his research with you. Not everyone, as I have been finding out, is willing to do that.

My cousin Joe is GREAT. He has given most of us the DVD or CD whatever they are for free just because. He has also given us all access to his ancestory account too.

Put the cd in your computer. you may have to bring up the ancestry.com program to read it. Once your computer can read it find the word print. make sure you have plenty of ink and paper.

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????

Yes you can copy it. Do you have space to download it onto your computer? Then all you have to do is insert a different disk into your computer and copy it onto the new disk.

You can burn CD's no problem - I think you have to have a special thing to burn dvd's if you can even burn dvd's. Edie
