go, or digging through public records. If the details in question can be found at a library (especially in 12 sources), this is simple research of the unoriginal type-someone else already did the research.>> --------------------- NOR does not cover "digging through public records". In fact, we allow "digging through public records". This is not original research, this is source-based research. Original research only covers "statements of fact" you have generated in some way, originally, that is as the first originator. Not as the second or later. A public record is the first published originator of any "statement of fact" contained therein, and so, in using these, you are not doing original research.
