Another thing to consider is the description of the “original record” doesn’t really help much –
Record Description This index is an electronic index for the years 1867 to 1961. It is not necessarily intended to index any specific set of records. This index is not complete for any particular place or region. This collection may include information previously published in the International Genealogical Index or Vital Records Index collections. The reference ID holds a clue to the origin of the record – it could be the church death/burial records. However, I will have to go look at the microfilm of those records in a couple of weeks and I want to add the index information now so I don’t lose it.

However, I don’t have the actual record at the moment and I want to record this as being found on FamilySearch.org. Even though it is a transcription, it is a source.

FamilSearch gave a citation for the actual record. GS Film number: <https://familysearch.org/search/record/results#count=20&query=%2Bfilm_number%3A1298881> 1298881 Reference ID: p118 no86 That's what you want to look at, the actual record will probably have more information than the transcription.

I’d like some help with the following. I’ve found a death record in the FamilySearch database and would like to add it as a source for the death of a person who already exists in Legacy. Can someone walk me through the steps? Here is a link to the record https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F2PC-28M Thanks, Pam 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).
