When you put so much info into the detail, how do you avoid a lot of
retyping when a week or an hour hence you need to cite the same source with
some minor variations?

Michele:
I think that sourcing it as a "cemetery survey" would actually be a case
of
fairly extreme splitting. If you wanted to really lump, you could have a
Master Source called something like "Burial Records" and use that for all
cemetery listings whether found online, by actual visits, or in
publications. In that case, there would be little or no information about
the Master Source itself; all the data would be entered at the Source
Detail
screen and yes, you would include the URL since it would theoretically be
required for you or someone else to find the listing again (although in
ten
years or so, who knows?) Another alternative would be to use
Interments.com
as a Master Source, treating it almost as if it were a book, list the site
data with the master source, and attach each individual burial record
through the Source Detail screen.
There are lots and lots of "right" ways to slice the Master Source List
cake, even after you've decided whether to split or lump. The hard part
is
deciding on an over all scheme.

I want to source a cemetery survey. I am not sure what all I need to
include in the source window. Since I am a lumper :) I am thinking my
source will be Cemetery Survey and then put the rest in the details.
I have the name, email address and the date the cemetery was surveyed. Do
you think I need to also include the URL? (it is posted on Interment.com)
