There is no jurisdiction really, not within the intended meaning. Its controlled nationally so I suppose I could only enter Australian Federal Government, there is no repository either really, it just sits in an anonymous government server somewhere in the world. There is no volume or page. Obviously I can just write a manual citation but I'm trying to get used to using source writer for everything. It strikes me though that the options only lend themselves to somewhat distant past options with no allowance for more modern options.
Really I was just wondering if anyone else had come up with a way of using source writer in this type of scenario. As I say, it's no showstopper, I can always do it manually and take on board a few of your suggestions. Thanks for the ideas. -----Original Message----- From: Jenny M Benson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 10 July 2012 6:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Quoting Electoral (Voter) Roll as a source On 10/07/2012 03:44, Ian GARDENER wrote: > In Australia the ONLY way that we can view or search an electoral roll > (current or modern) is by going to a government electoral office and > searching the roll on one of their public access terminals. > > In source writer I’m given the option of > > ·Basic format > > ·Microfilm > > ·Microfilm recorded by family history library > > ·Online database > > ·Online image > > It seems to me that it doesn’t really fit into any of these categories. > Basic suggests an original hardcopy?

If you are using the Voter Rolls template you enter the Jurisdiction City etc, the Title and the Repository in the Master Source and then the Volume, Page and the Name of the Person in the Details. You can enter the name and address of the Government Office where you searched as the Repository and could always enter in the Master Source Comment field, if you wished, that Roll are only available via public access terminals at the appropriate offices. -- 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).
