Denizen - I think, for our purposes, that is fine. There is no cash prize involved, we are, essentially, just looking for good recipes to share with one another. Kind of like sitting around a kitchen table, only ours is very big. :) If you state that it's not your original, but one of your families favorites, that is enough. I personally think the "award" should go to the best recipe, not necessarily an original.
From what I've read on copyright laws of recipes, they are vague. If it is from a magazine which you've read recently, or a cookbook which is known to you, it is polite and proper to give the origin and source if known, but if it's an old clipping which has been in the file for years, it hardly matters.
