All good points, Tessa. I hadn't thought about the possibility of blurring event/fact and master source. What lately has irked me about SW is that even the "internet" templates are very different. A case of too many choices. --Paula

If the crew list is from an online database, is that a database or an index? If you are looking at original records, it might be a journal or log. I always take a look at the description of the document type (easily done at ancestry for example). In the instance of Dorset Crew Lists their reference to the source reads as follows: Ancestry.com. Dorset, England, Crew Lists, 1863-1914 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2011. This collection was indexed by Ancestry World Archives Project contributors. Original data: Dorset Crew Lists. Dorchester, Dorset: Dorset History Centre. Elizabeth Shown Mills always asks - what are YOU looking at (what are you holding in your hand)? And then go from there. In the example above it is an online database. I might be all wrong (and I am sure someone will tell me) BUT your source is different from the event/fact - the event/fact would be employment and the source would be the crew list. Does that help or does it muddy the waters for you?
