I am currently rereading and taking the stone photes I will be posting them to Fla Gen Web very soon in the mean time you can contact me if you know the cem and whom you are looking for i will be happy to pass on any pics you may need as i get to them.

May I ask who you are and why you are 'redoing' all the work done by others? There is nearly a complete listing of every cemetery in Clay County along with photos on a site that's free to all. If you are copying our work, we need to be credited in full for each item.

To Ann, I'm Ray Richard, I am a member of the FlGenWeb Project. Please, let me know if you find that any photograph or any other material, for that matter, belongs to you. We believe strongly in honoring copyrights. There are several people who I know of who photograph Cemeteries in and around Clay County. They do the work independently and without the slightest regard to if someone has already photographed a headstone in a cemetery. At least that is what I believe. I have spoken with two ladies named Susan, in fact, who both photograph headstones and whole cemeteries. It certainly does not infringe on another copyright to photograph something that someone else has photographed. As I am not a member of Ancestry, I can't email you directly so I hope you will attempt to email me at cove_man which is an address at comcast. net and I will be happy to discuss any concerns you have.

Raymond,

This is one of those Susan's that transcribe/photograph cemeteries here in Clay County. Anyone can photograph without infringing upon someone else's copyright's, I agree.
The question is "WHO's" photographs are being used??

I have posted this question to your volunteer Susan, without a reply. She states in a the previous post
"I am currently rereading and taking the stone photos"
Rereading what????
Taking who's stone photo's????
Is Susan redoing all transcriptions herself?
Is she re-photographing all headstone's herself??

Ann and I have worked hard as a team to get Clay's cemetery information on the internet. If our work is being used, ALL that we ask is for CREDIT>>>>>>>>

Susan, The "other" Susan does not have an internet connection at the present time so that may have something to do with your not hearing from her. I can assure you, I will not post anything on the FlGenWeb Clay County site without it being credited to the submitter. That is true regardless of if the material is submitted by a member of the project or someone else who just happens to have material of interest to researchers. Please, if you ever find material on any Florida site that is yours but credited to someone else, let us know. I believe if you look at any photo's that you or her have posted to find a grave, for instance, you will find them to be unique.
When she said she is "rereading" she is referring, I believe, to checking what she finds on the stones against previously reported information but I could be wrong.

Thanks Raymond for clarifying this. I will truley be interested to see just what information/photos are submitted to the GenWeb, and by who. Do you have a time frame as when you think this info will be available on the GenWeb?

I am not using anyone elses work I am redoing the work because I need the work for flagenweb I am not trying to discredit or use anyone elses work just updating the websight and taking photos to place with the work everyone who has posted work to fla gen web will always be there this will just be another listing with pics. I chose to redo the cemeteries as a hobbie before i joined gen web. I also research my own family lines and wanted to give a lil something back after finding alot of the graves destroyed of my own family members wanted to be sure that in each of the cem's i vist i could prove what i read as well as the fact I had did the work myself So I currently have copies of all my work that i will retain and update as new graves are added. I am not trying to upset anyone just trying to help thoes who may not be able to go get the info themself. I am sorry if I have ofended anyone as it was not and is not my intention.

Thank You Ray I was not here when this was posted and just relised you had already answered her question thanks I will have the new cem ready for you in a few days.
