Except that my mother wrote a book of short stories about her life and our family. It's hard to beat an eyewitness account as a source. (But then again, I have an interview with my uncle in which he disputes some of my mother's recollections so even eyewitness sources can be challenged.)

Basically 300 pages of GS and notes, etc. I transcribed the whole book. Each person had a ifferent detail about them. The quantity from the book should not affect hich to include. USE ALL. Ihe computer doesn't get tired of too much or how any. Which relatives will you leave out because there might be TOO MANY???? rom one source. ich in LA CA --- On Fri, 9/16/11, Dean Adams <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Dean Adams <[email protected]> Subject: [LegacyUG] Sources - Geoff's Method To: [email protected] Date: Friday, September 16, 2011, 12:16 PM Geoff includes all the info from a source in the source detail, whether the source is a census, obituary, etc. How is a source such as a book of family history handled? It contains pages and pages on many individuals and families. This appears to be too much to include in a single source. Dean Adams ----- No virus found in this message.
