Subject: RE: CENSUS TRANSCRIBING, A BETTER WAY From: Tina Hall Date: February 25, 2001 The transcriptions are posted to rootsweb. They will always be free. Ancestry has their own transcribers that they pay a wage to. We are doing a service to our fellow researchers and they are posted to Rootsweb and will remain free of charge. As the transcriber, you own the copyright to that transcription. You are giving Rootsweb the permission to forever post it for free access to all. I have a copy of my transcription posted to my web site. I wanted to annotate it with relatives and data to help other researchers to not only find their dead relatives, but to make contact with living ones as well. There is a link to it on the Wilkinson county, MS GenWeb pages (1850 records). If you had to pay for access to these records, my transcriptions would all be posted to my web site only. happy hunting, Tina Hall -----Original Message----- From: Lee and Billie Jones [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, February 25, 2001 7:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CENSUS TRANSCRIBING, A BETTER WAY But are these census transcriptions going on the Ancestry subscription pages. If I spend my time transcribing, I want to be sure it is available free of charge to everyone, not just the Ancestry subscribers.
