What I got from EE in these website cases is that the URL, title, date accessed, will be included in the citation. I don't think they think of the website as a "repository," and they do keep track of the website in the citation. They have a nifty facebook page, where you could ask this very question of them. ;) --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams

I could not agree less with the book. I consider the recording of the repository to be extremely important, especially when dealing with websites. How many times have we come across a situation where a record cannot be found on one site, but can on another, usually due to an incorrect transcription. It could take ages for someone else to find it again of the repository is not known. Like you, Kirsten, I will continue to do my own thing!

According to _Evidence Explained_ listing a repository for published items is not necessary since anyone can trace back and get the item from their own most convenient source (and things you find online are interpreted as being "published"). That said, I usually do make a note of where I found something because it's easier than trying to remember. I just don't struggle over the format and often make it a privatized note not visible in the citation itself. If I understand your question, I think the Repository would almost always go with the Master Source part of the citation. Just now I can't think of a situation where you'd have different repositories associated with one Master Source unless perhaps you used FamilySearch for one census listing and Ancestry.com for another in the same year and location--but then you're back to not having to list repositories for published items. <snip> Kirsten <snip> 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).
