June Meeting for the Pikes Peak Genealogical Society

via Zoom

Online information is so easily accessible that people are accustomed to copying and pasting just about everything. In addition, one can hear a modern-day genealogist argue that no one can copyright “her family” and then that no one else has the right to post or print information on her family because she did all the research. This presentation will help you decipher the truth of copyright and also explore the ethical issues that surround family research.

Janice M. Sellers is related to actor Peter Sellers and to John of Gaunt, son of a king and father of a king. At least that’s what her grandparents told her. Unfortunately, they were wrong, but that’s why she has researched her family for 48 years and now helps others find the right pieces to fit their genealogy puzzles. She specializes in Jewish, Black, forensic, and newspaper research and has taught at local to international levels. Her site is ancestraldiscoveries.com.
