Purpose

This website is intended for personal and educational research purposes only. 

Copyright

This site contains a variety of copyrighted and public domain material. 

The basic facts about our ancestors -- name, birth date and place, spouse, date and place of the marriage, death date and place, etc. -- are not copyrightable because they are facts. You can not copyright facts, ideas, concepts, principles, discoveries, titles, names, slogans, short phrases, blank forms, general topics, common plots, or themes. Since facts do not owe their origin to an act of authorship, they are not original and, thus, are not copyrightable. Although a compilation of facts, such as this website, may possess the requisite originality because the author has chosen which facts to include, in what order to place them, and how to arrange the data so that readers may use them effectively, copyright protection extends only to those components of the work that are original to the author, not to the facts themselves.  The information cannot be redistributed for profit. Therefore, please feel free to use these pertinent genealogical facts in any non-commercial databases and homepages. 

Excerpts quoted here are used by permission or per the "Fair Dealing" copyright exemption wihch allows the "use or reproduction of a work for private study, research, criticism, review or news reporting". 

All content included on this site, such as text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, and audio clips, is the property of the site owner (Jennifer L.
