At the moment, I have, for my Canadian ancestors, 1 Master Source for Birth Certificates/Registrations per province..... I can't remember if my UK ancestors are for each Shire or Parish - would have to check.
So - Master Sources are: Birth Certificate - Canada, Ontario Birth Certificate - Canada, Alberta The Detail Source would have the particular person's name, and any if there is one the certificate number, in the identifying part of the source. ie: Certificate 196743, Certificate for John Doe On 12/30/06, ronald ferguson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Cathy, Your proposed method is the one which I use and I find no problems with it. As you say it does keep the number of Master Sources down.
