I was informed of an article appearing in the July/August 2007 edition of Everton's Genealogical Helper entitled, "The Best Grave Sites on the Internet."
I haven't read the article.
However, I am told that it contains a statement on page 74 about us that is factually incorrect. The article says that...
"The contributors to Internment.com must grant them exclusive rights to a database. As a result, Internment.net has to be included in any survey of burial information on the Internet, because it contains mostly unique entries."
I'm the publisher of Interment.net, and I don't ever recall requiring submitters and contributors of transcriptions to grant us an exclusive license to their work.
Our policy on copyrights and license are explained on our "Terms of Use" page...
http://www.interment.net/terms-of-use.htmUnder the subheading "Proprietary Rights", we state that the original copyright holder of the work retains their copyright, they don't transfer it to us.
Under the subheading "Submission of Materials" we state that anyone submitting their work to us for publication grants us a full unlimited license to republish that work on our website. Nowhere does it say that this license is exclusive.
That means, anyone submitting their work to us is still free to submit it elsewhere or publish it elsewhere as they please. All we're saying is that when you submit it to us, you're giving us your permission to publish it.
I sent off an e-mail to the editors of Everton's Genealogical Helper.

For someone who is in the know about genealogical things, I am surprised William Dollarhide cannot spell Interment correctly, and has an incorrect address. Is he dealing with the medical profession and student doctors perhaps??
I see there is another site out there, with the address he gave. Internment.com, it is on My space and not about cemeteries either.

I am looking for any help on cemeteries in Rottweil, Germany from the 1700-1800's. Where would I find such a link for any indexs or any information.
Thank you to anyone who will advise me.

It wasn't Bill Dollarhide who typed internment.net - it was the person who initiated the comment on this blog. It is spelled correctly in the article. Perhaps one should read it before commenting.

Do the Great Lakes Cemetery in Holly, Michigan and the Chatannoga National Cemetery allow visitors without disclosing parentage?

Due to the insufficiency fo hypothesis in this country; the Muer Expedition was never recovered. How has this effected the Muer Graves in England and can I be of any assistance to the Queen in the matter.

commenting on a topic brought to surface in study while in attendance at the University, the importance of connecting the Holy Names with their New Country appears to not be an ongoing vow to uphold by current clergy.

In response to Cathy:
You didn't give their ages at time of Death or birth year. Is Gisspi his actual name? I found a Gordon Bland that died in September 1958.
Check the social security Death index for their names. It will give their Death residence.. Hope this is helpful
