Could your Type be "Death Record Index" rather than "Death Record"?
That would more accurately reflect the source of info, as there may have
been transcription errors between the record itself and the online index.

I find many vital records at state historical societies. Sometimes originals
are available online, but most often (because I can't afford to buy
originals), I use only the results shown in the online index.
My first thought was to select Type-->Internet, but SourceWriter says,
"Usually, you should first select the type of record you want to cite, and
then select its online option".
So, if I then select Type-->Death Record, it asks you to select the Type of
death record, so I then select Death register. It then asks to select the
level of jurisdiction, which I guess would be "Held at state/provincial
level. However, when you then must select the medium, the only options are
Original, Original, microfilm/microfiche, and other types of options. There
is no option for Index. At, for example, the Minnesota Historical Society,
you can purchase an original, but I can't afford that, so I can only cite
the appearance of the person in the index.
Should I go back to using the generic Type-->Internet option? Advice for
recording this type of source will be appreciated.
