Re: [LegacyUG] Repository?
Thank you Norris for you detailed explanation. I had never really considered all the information you suggest. Thank you, as I have taken photos of family gravestones in Iowa, Kansas, Alberta, Oregon, Washington, and??? I am 92 now, so may not get all sourcing done, but I appreciate your analysis of this matter.Laura From: Norris Taylor Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2016 10:34 AM To: Legacy User Group Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Repository? I would suggest you re-evaluate the concept of "sourcing" a photograph, but rather consider the three prong approach: 1) The fact (the person was buried and what the inscription says and who else buried in the plot). 2) The "thing" that makes you consider this fact to be true - in this case: your personal observation of headstones in this cemetery 3) The location of this "thing" - unless it is self-explanatory from the fact or the "thing" that supports the fact - where can you find it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Repository?
You would be the repository. However I would make sure that the images themselves include the date time and location (the cemetery or gps coordinates of the grave itself). You will see this is how you would source to sites like Billion Graves and Find-A-Grave.

When I print a source citation report all my repositories appear just fine. However, when I pull up a list of assigned sources, click on one of them, select the Output tab, and the "Show Entire Source" option, neither the Footnote Citation nor the Bibliography shows the Repository.

Historically Southport has always been in Lancashire, however, in 1974 we did have a local government reorganisation which created a number of metropolitan "counties", of which Merseyside was one, and Southport was included included in it. However, due to their rebellious nature and lack of cost inhibitions, all these they were abolished during the 1990s and their powers devolved to their consitituent metropolitan districts. Southport was in the Metropolitan District of Sefton and still is, despite much local opposition. Even prior to 1974 Southport was a county borough, so did not come under the administration of Lancashire County Council, although it was within the county boundaries. Thus, where it is now becomes one of those typical British Fudges! Merseyside no longer exists, so it isn't there and it does not come under the governance of Lancashire, but that of Sefton. However the traditional county boundary is still recognised for civil and ceremonial purposes and hence includes Southport, but, then so does Liverpool where a Liverpudlian would say that they are from Merseyside (which doesn't exist). So Southport is not in Merseyside, but is run by Sefton Metropolitan District Council, and not by Lancashire County, but for all other purposes is in Lancashire.

Dear Millennia, Please be aware that the General Register Office is in Southport, Lancashire. Not Merseyside! Merseyside is not, to the best of my knowledge, a city in Lancashire. I noticed this when attempting to assign a Repository to a SourceWriter-generated Master Source item. When looking at the details, I found that the supplied address is:- General Register Office PO Box 2 Southport Merseyside Lancashire PR8 2JD On the GRO website, the address is given as General Register Office PO Box 2 SOUTHPORT PR8 2JD -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
