All pictures on this website are © copyrighted to Michael A. Coan / COAN.NET (unless otherwise noted) If the picture is taken by someone else's, then that person retains whatever copyright they have to that item.

PLEASE NOTE: EVEN IF THE PICTURE DOES NOT CONTAIN A COPYRIGHT NOTICE ON IT - IT IS STILL COVERED UNDER ALL COPYRIGHT LAWS

Purpose of my pictures: My pictures are put out on the internet to help others with their genealogy research

What you CAN NOT do with my pictures: Sell them, edit them to remove any copyright notice, use them in a way that makes money, or try to remove the fact that they are copyrighted to COAN.NET

What you can do with my pictures: Learn from them, link to them from other websites, copy a LIMITED NUMBER of unedited pictures to another website along with a link back to either COAN.NET or VermilionCounty.info. [Limited Number = for example, members of your own family - a few from a cemetery - not a whole cemetery, town, etc...]

Want a better quality / non-watermarked version of a picture: I'm happy to help as long as it is only being used for personal (not for profit) projects. (that is not being sold, re-sold, used in a project that is being sold, or used in a way that does not give credit back to COAN.NET). Please let me know what picture (Cemetery & PICTURE NUMBER - don't just say "john smith" and make me search through thousands of pictures...). All I ask is credit to be given back to COAN.NET or VermilionCounty.info
