Tony: I just did one very similar to this yesterday. It was a marriage record from the Drouin Collection of birth and marriage records from all Quebec churches from 1621-1962 (also at Ancestry.com). An extreme "lumper" might use the name of the collection as the Master Source but that would create rather too much of a record mixture for me. An extreme "splitter" might do as you mention and use the name of the church as the source. I'm somewhere in the middle so I used this:
Marriage records > Found in church records > Church record books > Created at local level > Online images. In the Master Source I left the church name and location city *blank* and only listed the state/province as Quebec. I named the Master Source "Marriage Quebec, Drouin." This same Master Source can then be used for marriage records from many different churches and towns. The name of the church, town, and marriage details are entered in Source Details on the Source Clipboard. I'll have another similar Master Source for birth records.

I've just found a baptism record on Ancestry. The main heading for the page is London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906 Record for Edwin Timpson and the sub heading is Westminster > St Marylebone Christ Church > 1828 > 16. Now I'm guessing that the overall collection includes records for other London areas, plus more churches and years within church. I don't want one source master record at the church level, if I can avoid it, but I can't see any Source Writer structure which would allow me to have a higher level master and lower level entries. Can anyone point me in the right direction? The original author would be the churchwarden or whoever kept the records and ancestry are displaying the records in partnership with the London Metropolitan Archives. How should I reference these levels of ownership?? Any advice would be appreciated Regards Tony 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).
