Offhand (and I am in a bit of a rush right now) I can't think of an instance where I would transcribe anything completely in a Master Source. I think the only time I use Master Source Text is to copy some descriptive text from a website or other source, such as "The landmark American National Biography offers portraits of more than 17,400 men and women -- from all eras and walks of life -- whose lives have shaped the nation." for the ANB Online or "Original data: Principal Probate Registry. Calendar of the Grants of Probate and Letters of Administration made in the Probate Registries of the High Court of Justice in England. London, England" for the National Probate Calendar reproduced on Ancestry. > > 2.
