FAMILY PHOTO PAGES

Source: Mildred II [Hosted by FlickR.com]--(Submitted by Carolyn Filer) This is a box of pictures belonging to my Aunt, Mildred Filer McIntosh. Many of the pictures are postcards addressed to Pearl Filer Parry. I assume that most of the people are related to the Filers, Osborns, Parrys, and are in some way related to Douglas County, Missouri. I need help in idenifying most of the people in these pictures. Please leave comments on the photo sharing site if you can help me identify the people.
Aunt Bertha Davis's Picture Box [Hosted by Shutterfly.com]--(Submitted by Ken Brown) After Gerry (Davis) Hailey passed away, her husband, Edwin, found a box of old pictures that we believe originally belonged to Gerry's mother, Bertha (Brown) Davis. Edwin brought them to me to be scanned into the Davis-Brown-Hailey digital photo archives. That has been done, and I've labelled each photo as best I could. But I know there are errors and omissions -- and a few photos are left as being totally unknown. Please leave comments on the photo sharing site

If you have a photo sharing website with a Douglas County connection send an email to Kristi Towe with the subject heading Douglas County Families and include one or more Douglas County family surnames that are on your site and the address for the main page of your site.

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. -- Kristi Towe, Coordinator
