Question/answer » How often is the Genealogy Online search index updated?
When you upload data to Genealogy Online for publication, these - if your publication is public - will also be indexed during processing and from that moment on can also be found via the search engine.
Your publication is also indexed by Google, however, this takes longer because Google must first retrieve each new page and Google does so at its own pace.
Genealogical publications are copyright protected. Although data is often retrieved from public archives, the searching, interpreting, collecting, selecting and sorting of the data results in a unique product. Copyright protected work may not simply be copied or republished.
Please stick to the following rules
Request permission to copy data or at least inform the author, chances are that the author gives permission, often the contact also leads to more exchange of data.
Do not use this data until you have checked it, preferably at the source (the archives).
State from whom you have copied the data and ideally also his/her original source.
