I started a separate thread because my post is a tangent to others. I've never seen my type of sourcing re split vs not mentioned. To date, I've only done online research. I can save individual census page images. I prefer to have one master source for each digital document (census page image, bible page image, digital version of a book).
Specifically wrt the census page images, I set one master source referencing the census page image I have. I then reference the line number the person of interest appears on and list in "Actual Text" his particulars from the census page. I don't reference any other person in those details. Any person that is listed individually on his own line gets his own detail sourcing. I do things this way since I'm able to tie the actual image file to a particular master source. I won't have to instead go to a directory of a bunch of image files and hunt for the particular page I'm interested in (even if I name the files according to their page numbers, it can still be a hunt when there are many such files). I'm hoping that this will help me drill down quickly to actual images, especially since Legacy helps me keep track of Master Source numbers and lets me set links in the master and detail sourcing to the actual images. Any comments folks have I'd love to hear. I've not done genealogy stuff long so there may be cons to this approach I haven't thought of. -- Take care, Melody If not now, when?
