- The simple answer, always attribute any copy. The second part, never copy an entire work even if the work is only one paragraph or one sentence long. Rewrite in your own words.

Great tips for on-line searching
- know what you are looking for
- You need to imagine the document you are looking for and enter search terms that you assume are on that document.
- Look for categories of records and sources rather than individual documents.
- Don't get distracted.
- You might have to try dozens of different combinations of search terms before you hit the right combination.
- Constantly upgrade your skills and knowledge
- Know when to stop.
- Give you mind time to think of alternative ways that the information you are seeking could have been identified on the Web. Once you come up with new search terms, go back to work looking for information.

I ask that comments be limited to the general topic of genealogy and historical research, or address specific blog entry topics, questions, and comments. I would appreciate seeing sources mentioned whenever making statements of fact. I prefer you use your real name or your normal nickname. Your language should be PG13 or better. Be respectful, personal attacks will not be tolerated. Links are acceptable if they are relevant to the topic. I reserve the right to edit, delete or otherwise exercise my editorial discretion over all comments left on my blog.
