I agree with Christine, and like your advice to call Ancestry.com a repository. Great! Helen

I list Ancestry.com as the repository. Ancestry likes to muddy the waters by adding their name to everything when all they are is a repsitory and not the primary source. Some may not consider this proper, but since Ancestry is a for profit source....I find it better to list the original source if future generations need to find it. Ancestry may go out of business someday the National Archives shouldn't :). Your primary source would be: World War I Selective Service System Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918. Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration. M1509, 4,582 rolls. The detail of the source would be: RegistrationLocation: Lake County, Illinois; Roll: 1614032; Draft Board: 2 When it prints out you will get something like: World War I Selective Service System Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918. Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration. M1509, 4,582 rolls. RegistrationLocation: Lake County, Illinois; Roll: 1614032; Draft Board: 2.

I'm new to Legacy and am having some trouble entering my source information, despite looking at examples I've found on the internet. For example, I found cemetery records on the Waupaca county, Wisconsin GenWeb site (http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwaupac/). It is part of the WIGenWeb, which in turn is part of the USGenWeb project. The Waupaca site is maintained by Paula Vaughan. On the Cemeteries page it says, "The Waupaca County cemeteries were read by Wayne and Alta Guyant in the 1970's. The Guyant Collection includes a general index which also includes veteran and maiden names with each cemetery of Portage, Waupaca and Waushara Counties and have been mircofilmed. You may be able to obtain the microfilm through your local library and the interlibrary loan system OR your local Family History Library. The information following each cemetery under the heading of Microfilm Information gives you the Family History Library number of the film on which the said cemetery is listed." If I then go to my cemetery of interest, Lakeside Memorial Park, it states, "Thank you to the City of Waupaca for permitting the Lakeside Memorial Park sexton records to be posted. This listing is complete through 2005." The information for the people I'm researching is all there, which I do understand will go into the Detail section of the source citation - however, that's getting ahead of myself! When I create a new Master Source in Legacy, what information goes where? For example: Source List Name Wisconsin, Waupaca County GenWeb Type Internet Author Paula Vaughan Title Waupaca County, Wisconsin History and Genealogical Website (italicise) Publication facts http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwaupac/ OR.is the transcription from the cemetery the focus of the source, and the repository is the Waupca GenWeb? Next, I'm a wee bit confused about citing information I find at Ancestry.com. For example, I found a record and the scanned image for a WWI draft registration card. Under the details for the individual it says: Source Citation: Registration Location: Lake County, Illinois; Roll: 1614032; Draft Board: 2. It then says: Source Information: Ancestry.com. World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: The Generations Network, Inc., 2005. Original data: United States, Selective Service System. World War I Selective Service System Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918. Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration. M1509, 4,582 rolls. Again, in Legacy, what is the focus of the source and where does all this information go? Any specific examples would be greatly appreciated!!
