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.) -----Original Message----- From: cranberryfrog <[email protected]> To: LegacyUserGroup <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, Sep 17, 2011 7:51 am Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Sources - Geoff's Method Unless the people are completely sourced, I would not add them to my database. I would use the book as a starting point to do my own research. michele -----Original Message----- From: RICHARD SCHULTHIES Sent: Saturday, September 17, 2011 12:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Sources - Geoff's Method I have a book which includes abt 6000 family members. Basically 300 pages of FGS and notes, etc. I transcribed the whole book. Each person had a different detail about them. The quantity from the book should not affect which to include. USE ALL. Ihe computer doesn't get tired of too much or how many. Which relatives will you leave out because there might be TOO MANY???? from one source.
