American Quaker practices (re: geneology)[edit]
Thanks for your note on the WP Qualer Project page. I have posted:
- The precision and comprehensiveness of Quaker record-keeping is of great benefit to historians and genealogists. Part of the reason for this precision is the British State's failure to recognise Quaker marriages. This made it particularly important to make and update one's Will and record the births, marriages and deaths of one's children and Quaker relations(if you wanted probate to be granted and no non-Quaker relations to challenge the validity of the Will). The accuracy of Quaker BMD records make them particularly valuable for Historical demography. I am not aware of U.S. practice or when the U.S. began to recognise Quaker marriages. A good guide to Quaker genealogy is
- My ancestors were Quakers : how can I find out more about them? by Edward H. Milligan and Malcolm J. Thomas. - [New ed.]. - London : Society of Genealogists, 1999. ISBN 1-85951404-9
- I hope someone, with more knowledge than me, can draft and additional paragraph. Thanks for the suggestion, Iowajason! ===Vernon White (talk) 18:38, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Possibly unfree File:Elgin O'Hare 2014 project map.pdf[edit]
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Elgin O'Hare 2014 project map.pdf, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you object to the listing for any reason. Thank you. Imzadi 1979 → 06:20, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
- The short version of the copyright issue with the map goes like this:
- Creations of a state government or state agency are not automatically in the public domain like their federal counterparts.
- Unless we could show otherwise, the map is a work for hire of an agency of the State of Illinois, even if the study has federal funding. ISTHA would be the agency that either employs the map's creator or contracted with the map creator's employer, even if they used federal funds to pay for the work.
- Since 1978, no copyright notice is required to attach a copyright to a work; in fact, once any person writes, draws, composes, or performs a "creative work", there is an automatic copyright in the US.
