Barb, I wouldn’t use Facebook as a source per se. I would use the PERSON that owns the Facebook page as the source. I would either use the personal knowledge template or maybe the interview template. In the detail comments I would write HOW the person knows the birth or death to be true. If it is the mother or father of the baby posting then it is a no brainer. “John is Megan’s father and was present at the birth.” If it is a death, “Mary is the Josephine’s daughter and was present at the hospital when she died.”
As far the as the photos go, make sure you get permission to download and use them in your file. I use the photo notes area for this information. “Photo by David Anderson, used with permission.” Michele Technical Support [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> www.legacyfamilytree.com <http://www.legacyfamilytree.com> From: Barbara Schwarting [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, November 9, 2014 6:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] facebook becomes a primary source How are listers handling facebook as a source for births, deaths, and etc? During the past month I’ve received notification of two deaths and two births through facebook.. The births had pictures from the hospital. I would appreciate your thoughts regarding the use of these and how you document and use the photos.
