This one should be relatively easy: Birth Records>Birth Certificate>Local Level. Then in the detail, place the certificate number, name, etc., that is the one in the Harrisburg archives, and which is also the repository if you so chose to define. Then in the future, anyone else will know where to obtain the information and a duplicate certificate.

That is the good news. My challenge is to enter the source in Legacy for this simple photocopy, which I am confident is reliable. The photo copy has two CERT numbers. One CERT number is the record of this official copy made for a fee. The other number is the CERT number for the original record. The photocopy was found in a folder that I created about 20 years ago when collecting items. The folder was marked "copied from my fathers safe deposit box". I have several records in this folder. My father is deceased. The safe deposit box and its contents are no longer. No one knows where the contents might be. So, in Legacy what would you record? What is the REPOSITORY? ... my photocopy files? Or the State Archives which the document says it will be filed ? What is the MASTER SOURCE? .... I thought maybe the State, County and City of the vital records archives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania --- or my home folder? What is the SOURCE DETAIL? ... The Certificate No. and notes with the actual text. Thanks.
