I was wondering if folks wouldn't mind sharing their method(s) of
sourcing items they have found on Internet sites, forums, etc., such as
Ancestry.com or a Rootsweb,co, forum posting. I realize that
information retrieved from the Internet should always be verified.
For instance, say I found a forum posting on the Genealogy.com forum
from a trusted source giving me the birth, marriage, and death dates of
an ancestor I was researching. I would likely want to enter this into
my file with a fairly low surety until I was able to verify the dates
from vital records, etc.
But in the mean time when I add a source for this I was thinking of
setting it up like this:
Source List Name: Genealogy.com Forum query
Author: Person who authored the posting
Title: Genealogy.com Forum
Type: Online Forum
Publication Facts: URL and Surname title of the specific forum where
the post was made such as Allan/Allen Family Berwick, Scotland
Details of Source Citation: Message 806 of 921 and date of posting
Detail Text: text of the posting
Does anyone see any flaws in this methodology? Can you suggest what you
feel would be a better way to source this in Legacy?
How about ways to source an email?
If this has all been covered before, please direct me to the archives.
Thanks for any input.
