Copyright Notice

I wrote a boilerplate Copyright Notice that I like to include in Descendant and Ancestor reports that I share.

I save the Copyright Notice in the record of the oldest male in each family.

This may result in the Copyright Notice appearing several times in a report.

Richard Earl Henthorn

Did you know there are two people named Richard E. Henthorn who work on Henthorn Genealogy?

One is yours truly, Richard Edson Henthorn of Maryland.  The other is Richard Earl Henthorn of Florida. We both use the genealogy program, RootsMagic.

Richard Earl shared a copy of his genealogy file with me and I loaded it into my genealogy program. He also graciously offered to share some of the information from his file on the Internet and I agreed to prepare the Descendant Report in PDF format and to host the report on the Internet.

We are sharing a seven-generation report of 109-pages which includes End Notes, Name Index and Place Index. The report was limited to seven generations to reduce the possibility of including information about the living.

The reported is hosted on the Google Sites web space of yours truly.

Copyright Notice

I include the following Copyright Notice in the "note" of the patriarchs in my genealogy files.

COPYRIGHT: This report, created from the RootsMagic genealogy file of Richard E. Henthorn, is copyrighted by the compiler.  This means you can't post a PDF report created by Mr. Henthorn on the Internet or sell any reports shared with you without his written permission.  Thank you for your consideration.

This doesn't mean I think I own the information in my genealogy files. Rather, it means that I own the format of the compiled information and wish to control how it is disseminated.

When reading one of my reports you may see more than one Copyright notice in the report. This happens because more than one patriarch is in the genealogy file.  This is particularly true in the case of Ahnentafel reports.
