Subject: Re: PERMISSION -OTISFIELD MARRIAGES

Hello Mrs. Croshaw,

Thanks for your patience while we looked into the matter of the Otisfield,
Maine records.  They were published under the authority of MHS, but are
not from documents in our collections.  The original records may be from
the State Archives, but then you do not need permission to publish from
their collections.  

Because you are not charging and do plan to give complete citation we
support your effort to make these records available on the Internet.  We
request that you give complete citation to title, editor, publisher &
owership of the original records.  We also would like you to note that
since you are not working from the original records that there may be
discrepancies between this information and the original records (mistakes
happen!).  Again, while we do not claim ownership of the original records
(facts) we do have copyright over the organization and arrangment of this
volume.  

Thank you for asking our permission and for honoring our requests.  Best
of luck with your research.
