I have separate Master Sources for Baptisms, Marriages & Burials and separate those again for the earlier and later databases. (eg Baptisms 1538-1812 and Baptisms 1813-1906.) The SW template I have chosen to use is Church records>Church record books>Created at local level (parish, congregation, meeting, etc)>Online images. The only fields on the Master Source in which I have entered data are: Collection: London Metropolitan Archives - London, England, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812 Website Title: Ancestry URL: Ancestry.co.uk The Format field is pre-filled - Digital images. I suppose I should fill the Date field, I rarely do, though I do enter the Recorded Date. On the Source Detail screen I complete the fields as follows: Title: Saint Mary at Lambeth, Register of baptisms, P85/MRY1, Item 358 Item of interest: entry for Sarah Catherine White, 1833, page 245, no 1960 Date accessed: 19 March 2010. The title includes the LMA reference, allowing someone to access this record other than through Ancestry. But beware - the Source which Ancestry gives for an LMA record is very often wrong! Or absent. I attach the image to the Source Detail and, since viewing one of Geoff's excellent webinars, I also include a transcript of the record in the Detail Text field. That's my way - there will be others! -- 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
