Please help find info on my fathers copyright from 1949.  The copyright registration number is 178307.  It is a musical compistion called Promises.  I have the original document but know nothing about what it is or who my dad did this with, though his name is on the registration. 

Is there any way to find out info on it?  I've googled the registration # and found nothing.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Kaitlin.  Thanks so much for your response.  I have submitted a request for information from them, but I was told they do not have the actual 'contents' of the song, nor can they give me any info on the person he co-authored the song with.  My secondary goal is to try and find that person, hopefully he's still alive, and learn more about my dad.

Thanks again for your response!
