I'm trying to record and album of traditional tunes. I have seen the list at www.pdinfo.com , but I'm finding some of the songs I love to sing are not on their list. How do I go about finding if a song is public domain or not. I don't really have the money to pay royalties and even though I am small time I don't want to step on any toes.

Thanks for your help! I've gone here many times to find out histories, lyrics, and chords. You all are a fount of knowledge!
