Tips, Hints, and Guidelines on the GenConnect boards
|
|
|
|
What is GenConnect? It
is is a system of information
collection and communication developed specifically for the Internet Genealogy
Community.
What are “boards” that are used in GenConnect and
how are they used? The boards are simply the media used for collecting
and displaying queries and information that users provide. They are
“bulletin boards” for displaying information in specific topic areas to
the genealogy public.
GenConnect topic areas: Queries,
Bible Records, Biographies, Deeds, Obituaries, Pensions, Wills (and other
Estate papers). To visit one of these boards, simply select the applicable
link.
Queries on the Query board only: Boards
are for specific purposes. If queries are placed on other boards, they’ll
just be deleted.
Copyrights and the boards: Most information for
the boards are either facts or in the public domain. Facts are not
copyrightable and public domain information is there because of lapse of
copyright, deliberate placement into public domain, or information (such
as legal documents) that cannot be copyrighted. The major board where
copyright is a concern is the biography board and, under certain circumstances,
the obituary board.
Biography board copyright requirements.
No unauthorized copyrighted material may be posted on the board.
Material that meet any of the following may be posted:
-
Copyrighted material with permission of the copyright holder.
-
Original biographical sketches written by you.
-
Biographical sketches derived from the facts in other material,
including copyrighted material.
-
Biographical sketches from public domain material, which
includes

-
Publications dated 1922 or earlier
-
Works that do not include a copyright notice and were
first published before 1978

|
Obituary board copyright requirements.
Most obituaries are written from a template which compiles facts into a
standard format. Such obituaries do not meet the standard of originality
required by copyright law and may be posted to the board. Lengthy
obituaries, such as those prepared for notable individuals, may satisfy
the standard of originality and should not be posted if there is any doubt. |
