Saturday, June 21 9: 00 to 5: 00 Bryan Library log C, What about a Genealogist's Code of Ethics Walter PARSONS is a member of the Connecticut Society of Genealogists, Inc. He has shared the publications with this editor, and they are excellent. One of their projects is an attempt to make vital records more accessible in all states. The campaign is a good one, and members are updated on activities in the states with each newsletter (which is bi- monthly). As a part of this campaign concerning the vital records there is this article which seems appropriate for us, too. What do you think? "As you know, the critically important right of access to Vital Records for genealogical purposes is usually difficult, sometimes impossible and constantly endangered. Many custodians of these records are motivated by a fear that the records will be abused or mishandled. In order to allay these fears, all members of the Connecticut Society of Genealogists, Inc. have signed a 'Pledge' regarding the proper treatment of these records. This 'Genealo- gist's Code of Ethics' , wi -1.1 _become a part of membership applica- tions after July 1, 1979. "The new code reads as follows; "In order to protect the integrity of public records and library books, I am ethically bound and hereby agrees (1) that I will treat with the greatest care and respect all public records and library books which may be made available for my use; (2) that I will speak with courtesy to all employees of a vital records office or of a public library, when requesting to see any vital record or library book, and that when finished with such record or book, I shall express my thanks to the person attending to my requests; (3) that I will not tear, erase, mark or remove any pub- lic record or library book, and will refrain from mutilating, defacing or otherwise destroying any part of such public record or library book; (4) that when I have finished viewing any public record or library book, I will return it to the proper or desig- nated place; (5) that I will not repeat or publish any item which will reveal the illegitimacy of any person born within the past 75 years. This pledge is freely made by me upon penalty of for - feiting my membership in this society." "We hope that you understand and support the need for this action in protecting fur access to vital records and we believe that it will generate substantial good will and cooperation for genealogists and your society."

She has copies of two marriage license which "bind the aforesaid" in the sum of two hundred dollars--or on the other one, one hundred pounds--to the governor of the state or to the registrar of probate. This was a very common practice in almost every state and did not mean that the money was handed over. Instead, they paid a fee much like we do today. It was assurance by the bondsmen that the wedding would take place and that there was no reason to prevent it. The one from Georgia, Richmond County, 24 July 1793, says in part,,,Now the condition of the above obligation is such that if the above bound John OGG and David PATTERSON shall well and truly keep harmless, all and every person or persons whatsoever concerned on ? and executing the said license, then the above obligation to be void. Or else to remain in full force and virtue." (Continued bottom of P. 124) 119 HO'S EW Looki We have seven new members cal friends.
