Hi Kathy, You said--"So I use Genline as a more general source and put the details of the record in the Master Text & Detail Text etc. areas within that person's records". Could you send me a sample of your source output on a person? Maybe I can get some ideas by comparing them.
I also don't know how to do Swedish sources from Genline or DigitalArkives without making A new Master Source for each person. I have the training disc. I'll watch it again I guess. Thanks Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathy Meyer To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, September 03, 2010 10:02 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy and Swedish sources With Genline, there isn't a specific URL to go straight to the image, you'd have to get into the Genline site and then search for first the lan, parish, record book, and finally the page number. There is no one step way to get there other than on your own computer if you have bookmarked it (but that wouldn't help another person trying to recreate the search) Just FYI for the person that suggested that. I may not be understanding this properly, but Steve is asking about a source citation and I think this is pretty detailed. I agree that you have to add in the information that you gleaned from the source (name spelling, dates, places, etc. as suggested for comparison with conflicting info) but I've put that in my "text" tab. If I made a separate Master Source for every piece of information I got from Genline, that would be an awful lot of work every time I used Genline and my Master Source list would be huge. (same for Ancestry.com etc although with that I use their source information for that particular collection) So I use Genline as a more general source and put the details of the record in the Master Text & Detail Text etc. areas within that person's records. I have struggled over the years to improve sourcing and I think I'm recording it pretty well now and need to review & improve those records that were already there and not sourced adequately. Recording the individual details, as Brett said, is a huge help. My only change to Steve's citation would have been to Omit the reference in case he would be using that source again for another individual. I know I will learn a lot from this thread and am looking forward to it; I'm very open to suggestions for improvement and especially explanations as to why we should do it a particular way.
