Welcome to the MoGenWeb website
for Douglas County, Missouri.
Mission Statement and Citations --
The mission of this site is to
provide useful free information for researchers on
Douglas County Missouri and its families. It contains
works by various individuals who have granted permission
for it to be displayed here. They spent a lot of time
to create these works with little or no monetary gain.
Their names are all identified with the work they
created. Please recognize these people when you use
part of these works to supplement your own. Under the
concept of “fair use”, you can quote parts of a
publication in your work, but you must property
attribute the material to its author or creator. PLEASE
USE GOOD JUDGMENT and recognize the people who have
helped in your research by properly attributing their
work. Here’s an example of a citation: Source--Profession
Genealogy: A Manual for Researchers, Writers, Editors,
Lecturers, and Librarians. Elizabeth Shown Mills,
editor. 2001

Copyrights and Good Ethics
--
This site is
copyrighted to protect the many creators of the body of
work contained here. Use this information freely but
tell your readers where you acquired the information.
A copyright comes into existence when a work is created.
Only “original works of authorship” can be protected by
copyright. An example of this would be cemetery records
– if you copy names and dates from a cemetery, that in
itself might not be copyrightable, unless you have added
information to it, such as compiling multiple cemeteries
into one source, such as Laine Sutherland’s (et al)
Gone But Not Forgotten: Cemetery Survey of the Eastern
District, Douglas County , Missouri (1995). My
own transcriptions of Fairview and Oak Forest Cemetery
are also copyrighted, because I added additional
information not available on the headstones. For works
created after 1978, copyright protection lasts for the
“life of the author, plus seventy years”. For works
created before 1978, the protection is good for a
maximum of 95 years, with a minimum of 28 years. Note
that “official government publications are not eligible
for copyright in any form by anyone” – the information
can be used, as it is public domain, but you cannot call
it your original work.

Towe, Coordinator

Research TIP

Douglas County's west and east ends were at various times attached to
other counties. Click on the BOUNDARIES link in the yellow menu
