Family trees and Parish Records (General)

I have just started to put my wife's tree on ancestry.co.uk. It is possible to add notes and sources to corroborate various facts, e.g. baptisms, marriages and burials. What is the position on my using the text from the Parish Records section of this site in these on-line trees? I have read the terms and conditions but still don't feel confident on what they mean. Can I transcribe, as in cut and paste, the text and add a "credit" for forest-of-dean.net? Or is it the case that I cannot use the text? So far I have only done one cut and paste and thought that I would seek confirmation before I put any more records on.

as a private researcher, "we" are happy if you use the information, but we ask that you always provide an acknowledgement of where you have "lifted" it from.

Any extracts of the data that are posted on message boards, forums or to mailing lists, should acknowledge the source of the material by clearly stating our name the Forest of Dean Family History Pages and including the URL of the Web site.

please consider making a donation to ensure that this Site continues :-)
