Cathy, sorry, I’m lost. What do you mean by “section number?” The section in EE? Where is the “what kind of source do I want” field?
Thanks, Barton From: Cathy Pinner [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, May 16, 2015 10:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] citing land entry files Hi Barton, There's a virtually hidden feature for finding the template corresponding to EE. You can type the section number into the "What kind of source do you want to cite" field. Cathy Barton Lewis wrote: I would like to record my homestead land entry files as illustrated in EE. I went to the Source Template Index and found Homestead Files > Land and Property Records > Homestead Files > Basic Format but it doesn’t seem to gibe with the format on EE. I thought this would be the appropriate template since I obtained hard copies from NARA directly. I also looked at templates under BLM, most of which were DVD/CD-ROM options. I thought Legacy created most of its templates based on EE’s directives and so am wondering if there is some other template I should be using. EE references “Record Group 49†in her example for citing a whole (Homestead) file but a record group is nowhere referenced in the paperwork I received. And in the receipt NARA sent there was handwritten notation in the box “File Designation†“Bx. 799,†and EE does not include such a field in her example, as follows: Robert Vandament (Chase County) homestead file, final certificate no. 328, Lincoln, Nebraska, Land Office; Land Entry Papers, 1800-1908; Records of the Bureau of Land Management, Record Group 49, National Archives, Washington, DC. I wonder why EE doesn’t include the Box Number? I would think that’s important if they sent me it to me. Most importantly, though, which template follows EE’s format for a land entry file?
