Hello,I am hoping to get advise about writing sources. I have been entering sources,not using source writer, for all my records,but for now I am concerned about the records I get from Ancestry.com. When I enter source info for say a naturalization record,I enter all the info found on the Ancestry page,and my source winds up looking like this : (Master and Details)"Petition for Naturalization from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, 1897-1944;National Archives, Washington, D.C.;Ancestry.com. Selected U.S. Naturalization Records - Original Documents, 1790-1974 (World Archives Project) [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 2009; (National Archives Microfilm Publication M1972, 1457 rolls); Records of District Courts of the United States, Record Group 21; National Archives, Washington, D.C.Archive Roll: 1304(Roll 1144); Petition No.311001-311330; Naturalization Record Number: 372520; Lehman Ida;Petition for Naturalization;April 29,1938,Cert.No.372520"My passenger lists and census sources are equally impressive. Trouble is,I have never seenwhat a good source should and shouldn't contain.Needless to say,I am using Legacy,could someone please advise as to what a source should look like,perhaps copy and paste one of your sources,for example? Thank you , Brian
