True, this is an index only, not the marriage record documents themselves.
The original image of the index is at Ancestry, and was not created by
Ancestry. The index was created by the State of Nevada and Clark County.
Rich is correct, Ancestry is NOT the originator of the index, it is the
repository.

Rich,
Sorry, I disagree.
Whilst I agree that it is unlikely, it is just possible that Ancestry.com
has changed the record created by Nevada.
The source, at this juncture, has to be what has been viewed -
Ancestry.com - with mention of the sources they say they are relying on,
until such time as the 'original' source is personally checked.
Isn't Genealogy fun!!

I disagree. Ancestry.com is not the originator of the database, Nevada is
that. Ancestor owns the photocopies and/or transcriptions that it created
from the data. It charges for access to that file. But you can go to Nevada
and make your own copies (plane fare and hotel room not included). Use the
example for US census records, changing the obvious differences.

Tried the new Source Writer for the first time today and love it. I
have a question about it relating to E. Shown-Mills, "Evidence
Explained." I'm citing an Ancestry.com database entitled "Nevada
Marriage Index, 1956-2005."
Ancestry.com, in their Source Information, cites (1) their database
Ancestry.com Nevada Marriage Index, 1956-2005 . . . .; (2) Nevada
State Health Division, Office of Vital Records, Nevada Marriage Index,
1966-2005 .
. . .; and (3) Clark County Nevada Marriage Bureau, Clark County
Nevada Marriage Index, 1956-2005 . . . .
Obviously Ancestry.com is the originator of this database.
I like to know
from whence their data comes. Should I use in the Detail section
"Citing numbers 2 and 3 above." In "Evidence Explained" I'm seeing
this used in some of the image examples but not in other databases.
Thanks for any suggestions.
