*Yes, your name would be entered multiple times. Here's how I do it. Suppose I read a letter received by my Aunt Kathy from her sister. The letter details facts about Cousin Joe Blow, facts I want. Here's what I do: 1> Offer to xerox at my expense the letter so I have a copy to refer to from time to time as needed. I would keep the letter on file, and maybe even scan the letter on my computer for faster access. -or- 2> failing that, I try to get permission to photo the letter. At home, I print it and put it in a file. I might even save the photo on computer for faster access. -or- 3> Still failing that, I will set down and write down every fact I possibly can. Names, events, dates, who the letter was from, who it was to.
Now, even if I have a copy of it in the first two examples, who received the letter? Aunt Kathy. Who has the letter? Aunt Kathy. I only have a copy. Aunt Kathy is the recipient. In the last example, Aunt Kathy is the recipient. I just copied facts. I have several family Bibles. I fight for permission to view them before they are destroyed. Yes, a lot of people they go to decide the Bible is too old, too loose, coming apart, too <something>. So they toss it. I would list the name of the *current* owner of those Bibles as recipient, even he may elect to destroy them. True, your name will be on a lot of them. does this help? * *Thank you. **Robert* *Genealogy without documentation is mythology!
