Absolutely, Bill !!!! Our website has always meant to be shared and used by anyone -- not just BERRYs. [I don't think anyone needs permission to copy, say, a transcription of a will or deed -- those are public documents.] In regard to the maps, as long as you acknowledge that it is from our website, it's fine, but I want to add my research partner's name (Jim Jackson) to any sourcing. Jim based his Borden and Beverly maps on publically available maps (one being Hildebrand and I forget the other name) but imposed his own display criteria. Jim works as a cartographer at a govenment agency so he has excellent map making skills and the computer software at home to do all sorts of stuff. I think they add to our research because I'm such a visual person, but they add more than just visual aides as maps are often the only way to solve some problems.

I would recommend that you write a reference source for Jim's maps as follows:

Jim Jackson, Figure 53, [whatever he's named the figure] url to whichever map you're using Genealogy of the Berry and Associated Families: Part 1 The First Three Generations of the Scotch-Irish Berry Family in Augusta, Rockbridge and Washington Counties, Virginia http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~berry/newupload/pages/report.htm

If you haven't done so, here is the url to the page on our website that you can look at ALL maps that Jim has made. Many are particular to working out some of our BERRY puzzles and won't be of interest to you, but I'd be happy if some more were useful for you. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~berry/newupload/pages/figs.htm
