I don't see how citing this source is any different than when you have a
death certificate, for instance, on which learn not only the date and place
of death, but the date and place of birth, the place of burial, the
deceased's parents, the deceased's place of residence. Much information can
be contained on one document. You simply cite the document in as many places
as there is information you have gleaned.

Subject: [LegacyUG] SourceWrite Template - IGI - Questions
Hi Listers,
Concerning the SourceWriter template: "Church records > LDS Genealogical
Compilations > International Genealogical Index > Online database."
I am looking for suggestions on how others might be using this template,
specifically concerning the following points:
1. This template is set up for citing an IGI record with one event (i.e.:
birth, marriage, or death, etc.) with a date and place. What is suggested
for an IGI record that contains multiple events and places?
2. This template is set up for citing an IGI record with information for
as many as two individuals in the "one" event (as referred to above). What
is suggested for an IGI records when more persons are mentioned (main
individual, parent(s), and a spouse)? -- Also, what is suggested when
multiple events and multiple persons are mentioned in the same record?
Note: I do know the IGI is not considered a "reliable" source and
generally should only be used as a clue or perhaps as a pointer to
original sources. However, as I do have some information from only the
IGI, of which I may well never locate original documents, I am looking for
some way of documenting these IGI records with the new SourceWriter
template -- hopefully in accordance with Mills, page 348, item 7.34.
:-)
Thanks for any suggestions,
