Elizabeth, Sorry, I may have phrased my previous response somewhat loosely! In the case you raise, I'd cite that copy of that edition of that book as my source since I had examined that copy of that the book. Other editions of the book may have different information for all I know. Any reference to a source the author had used would be commented on, but not entered as my source until I had checked that particular source myself.
You may be satisfied that what you've looked at on Ancestry.com is the 'original State of Nevada Index', but I've been in a situation where microfilm which was stated to be of 'official' creation was not and was, in fact, erroneous (not deliberately I hasten to add). I fully realise many may consider that I'm being overcautious. My own preference. As I said before, we may have to agree to differ on this one.

I have looked at the original State of Nevada Index via Ancestry.com. Why would I need to go to Carson City to cite the State of Nevada Index?
