EDITOR'S COLUMN:

Your Editor is usurping this column temporarily because your President has been ill. She has twice been in the hospital and early in January was operated on for gallstones. We are happy to report, however, that she came through the operation "remarkably well" according to her surgeon and we hope she has completely recovered by this time.

You will note that we have changed the dating of the Newsletter somewhat. Kay's illness has put us back nearly a whole month and by giving ourselves an entire quarter in which to get to you, we hope we shall forestall other circumstances which could be beyond our control.

In the future you will also find a continuance of information on Copyright Law which we are starting in this issue. This is so that you will not get into trouble when making copies of material in copyrighted books or other copyrighted material.

COPYRIGHT LAW:

What a person writes is his own property but unless he copyrights it, it is considered to be PUBLIC DOMAIN and anyone can make use of it. For instance, if a person should write a letter to a newspaper and the editor should publish it without copyrighting it, it would belong in the PUBLIC DOMAIN. It cannot then be copyrighted as there is no copyright on material in the PUBLIC DOMAIN.

In the case of a magazine article, the person could re-write it, using a completely different style, and it could then be copyrighted. However, in the case of a poem, it would be quite difficult to do so.

Now, if you should compile a book from material taken from the PUBLIC DOMAIN and through your own labor you produce a new work, you may claim it as your own by virtue of your own toil and it is yours whether it is of a literary nature or whether it has artistic style, because of your labor in compiling the book.

Many writers believe they can quote freely from letters and diaries which have come into their possession but the recipient may own only the physical properties of the item and is not free to publish the contents, which belong to the writer. An author must first obtain permission from the writer of letters and diaries. The latter has what is called COMMON-LAW COPYRIGHT, the same as author has in his own unpublished manuscript. If the writer has died, permission should be obtained from his heirs.

Facts cannot be copyrighted but the form of the facts IS subject to copyright. Thus an author may compile vital statistics and desire to obtain copyright upon their publication. He must obtain permission to do so

COPYRIGHT LAW (cont.):

or he must completely re-write the material, changing the form of expression or the setup of the statistical information.

May a writer use any part of copyright material? The answer is a qualified "YES". A writer may make fair use of copyrighted material but it is in the expression "fair use" that the difficulty arises. The law does not specify a particular amount of copyrighted material that may be used. A Professor of Law at the University of California, Melville B. Nimmer, who is an authority on copyright law, describes it as "copying by others which does not materially impair the marketability of the work which is copied." Some countries define "fair use" as not more than a thousand words from a scientific or literary work. There is no such specific rule in the United States.

There is no copyright on works published prior to 1 July 1909 and not at that time copyright in the United States. In the next issue we intend to go into publications of the United States Government and as much as we have space for in continuance of copyright law which we feel you should know for your own protection. If you have any questions, we shall be glad to answer them to the best of our ability.

Meanwhile, we suggest that you write: PUBLIC DOCUMENTS DISTRIBUTING CENTER, Pueblo, Colorado, 81009, Department 83 and ask for the booklet entitled "Getting a Copyright." This is FREE but only one is allowed per customer. You might also ask them how to obtain a copy of Title 17, U.S. Code and any amendments or revisions thereto and any other information which they may be able to give you. They will tell you if there is a charge for any such material and where to send for it if they do not have it.

We do hope that the above information will assist you when you have need to copy from works that have been copyrighted.

NEWS CALIFORNIA:

Helen THOMSON, 1283 Creswell Dr., Yuba City, Calif. 95991.
What a great paper! Thanks a lot for the copies I received today! Enclosed is my chart. Hope to contact that lady in Quincy, IL re-Dooley lines of Ralls Co., Mo. I spent 2 years in Marion Co, research before learning "near Hannibal" in Mo. was not in that county but in Ralls Co., Mo.

I enjoyed your letter. Nothing has been done re: grave for Kitty CREEKBAUM RICE near here. The one in charge didn't erect the stone yet. However, it is in the Rice-Payne area of Peoria Cemetery, Browne Valley, Calif. Other sisters are said to be buried there, but I can't learn names. Possibly DEWS is one. Other descendants live nearby, but I don't know names. One has arrest records in papers, I believe.

CALIFORNIA (cont.):
Must close as my strength goes fast. Thanks again for the info on KRIGBAUMS. I correspond with a descendant of the SPEELMAN and KRIGBAUM lines, but she is elderly and has not answered recent letters. She descends through an ELIZABETH I believe, also a surname of Durbin in Frederick Co., MD area ca 1800.

NEW YORK: Donna R. IRISH, 1726 Jackson Road, Penfield, N.Y. 14526
I picked up your name from the Genealogical Helper, and I am writing in hope your association has an historian or genealogist. I am hoping you will send my letter on to that person so that I can make an inquiry. I am including a self addressed envelope so that your KRIGBAUM association genealogist can reply to me, and also a stamped envelope for you to use to send my inquiry along to your historian. Thank you for your help.

Dear Person in charge of KRIGBAUM association:
I am writing to make an inquiry of you. I understand that there is in existence several volumes concerning the KRIGBAUM family and I am hoping you can help me. I would be happy to pay for Xerox copies of any information you might have concerning the following provided you will also give me a copy of the title page of the books so that I can have the publishing information for my records. In addition I have a set of BIBLE records concerning the birth and marriage (some of WILLIAM BERRY born 1802) and his wife ESTHER FRIEDLEY and their family of children that I would be glad to send if you are interested.

I am a descendant of JAMES BERRY born supposedly in Boston, Mass. And raised there (I would guess 1750's - 1760's.) He supposedly came to Lebanon Co., Pa. and married there MARY KRICHBAUM who had been born there. They had the following children (birth dates unknown but this is supposed to be the correct order.) PETER, JACOB, JOHN F., HENRY, WILLIAM KRICHBAUM (born 1802) and CATHERINE who married John BIERLY of Brush Valley, [Centre County] Pa. All the boys were farmers and moved to OHIO except WILLIAM K. and JOHN who resided in Johnstown, Pa. I believe all these children were born in Brush Valley, [Centre Co.] or Lebanon Co., Pa. I am a descendant through WILLIAM KRICHBAUM BERRY as I have said.

JAMES BERRY and his wife MARY lived on a farm in Brush Valley and he built the first home in Rehersburg, Pa. He died in Frankstown, Pa. His wife, MARY KRICHBAUM, died in Brush Valley.

I would be very interested in the following.
1. Birth date and place for MARY KRICHBAUM. The names of her parents and their birth dates and places. The names of her other brothers and sisters and their birth dates.
2. Marriage date and place of MARY KRICHBAUM and JAMES BERRY.
3. Birth dates of their children.
4. Marriage date and place of Mary's parents.
5. Death dates and places of her parents.
6. Death dates and places [towns, if possible] of JAMES and MARY KRICHBAUM BERRY.
7. Birth date and place of JAMES BERRY and names of his parents if you have them.

I am looking forward to hearing from you and hope you will be able to help me.
