Hi June,
I put in all sources I have with the exception that I don't continue
to add census sources for a name and birth if they haven't added
anything more AND I already have at least 3 high quality sources. I
probably should but my source listing is all ready very extensive and
the census information is elsewhere in the record for that person.
I've remembered another reason I'm more of a "lumper" than a
"splitter" when it comes to Master Sources. I make some reports with
just Master Sources in the Source Citation. If people want more
detail, they are welcome to ask - and already know where they could
look - just not the actual reference numbers for the census or page
number in a book etc. But most of my readers aren't interested in the
sources <sigh>.

Another thank you to those people who continue to help me with sources. I
think I have finally got my head around to the understanding that I need
three pieces of information to prove that something actually did happen and
these are what I put in sources. Another question though - If I have 10
pieces (for example birth certificate, army records, several census
records, marriage records etc) is it common practice to put all of these
records in.
Thank you
June (Chan)
