    Dawn, I read in one of your comments dated March 21 to Eric about "As a professional genealogist I have the right to protect my work" and I have a question.

     

    Being relatively new to Genealogy and wanting to start out on the right path, what is the best way to "protect" my work if I post it online if at a later date I want to publish a book? Also, are the photocopies of census, birth records, etc... copyrighted also? 

     

    There may be a group to help "newbies", if so could you direct me. 

     

    Thank for all your help!

    Karen
