Jenny,
I actually agree with both yourself and Connie. In my first comment on this
thread I said that I would quite likely leave them unlinked, as per Connie's
method, but obviously whether I would or not does depend on the strength of the
evidence.
It is, of course, a matter of judgement
Paula,
That is far from a stupid question, and is one which I have often asked myself.
Like yourself, I am sure I have used it in both ways, as an assessment of the
strength of the reporting, or of the evidence itself.
So I suppose my answer would be that it is an assessment as to the
I have two examples on my thinking. Over the years I have made photocopies 0f

(including Ancestry and LDS). I decided to use the NARA in Washington DC for
all.
Anything I created (photos, etc.), I am also the repository.
Hi all,
Is there anyway to print all family group sheets for a

Cathy,
To answer the first part of your question, I do have a repository
Personal Possession of the Author. I use this for any original
document, book, etc., that I actually own and possess.
To answer the second part, I just did a quick test on one of my
citations of a book that is in the local

this case I am considering listing me as the repository. Does anyone

For others, a library or government agency is the actual repository
plus I have a copy.

Another question. How does one eliminate the phrase: Another

this phrase should only be used for nicknames. Thanks.
