I list them as separate sources. As you have already noticed the information
from each source can vary. The purpose of sources is to verify the accuracy
of the information. For example. My g-grandfather Wm was a member of Liberty
Church so Liberty Church is entered in as a Master Source.
He is buried in Liberty Cemetery I learned this from an on-line source so I
list the source of the information as the on-line repository.
I then visited the cemetery and took pictures. I list myself as a primary
source and use that to catalogue the pictures.
If the pictures had come from the on-line site I would have used that as the
source for the pictures.
I have not yet used Liberty Church as a master source because to the best of
my knowledge no one has found the old records from that church if there are
any old records. But I keep the Church as a master source to indicate that I
have checked in there.

What do people do when they have several different repositories for the
same information. For example: I have Cemeteries & Churches list under one
master list (yes, I'm a lumper). But some of the cemetery information is
from on-line databases (with or without picture) & some is from me
personally visiting the cemetery. I have been using the detail to
differentiate, but is there a better way? What do other's do?

Now *that's* a good reason. When reading films ordered from the Canadian
National Archives or the FHL I've often wondered if different copies of
the
same film could be better. From what I've seen so far, though, there's
nothing in Mills about recording the film copy number in the source
citation. Maybe that's something to consider. Of course, I'm only on p.
50
of 'Evidence Explained' and it's a big book so perhaps she's already
thought
of it.
Very interesting comment. Thanks.

Some years ago I ordered a census film from the FHL. The names on the
page I needed were obliterated. On another occassion, I was at the
Sacramento State Library where I looked at the same film. The page I
needed was beautiful and clear. I not only record the repository, but
also the line number, household number, and film details.
