Ron raised a point about GRO references and Certificate citations quite recently. The full GRO reference never does appear on a Certificate and Ron was saying that anything not present on the Cert should not be included in the Citation. I realised that he was right and I had been "doing it wrong" so I now just ignore those fields and have a second citation which is to the GRO index entry - when a different field is left empty, the one for sub-district. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
