I must say I am not a big fan of how we are encouraged to use repository / source / citations in Legacy.
Ideally I would prefer to refer to the GRO as the repository, an individual birth certificate as a source and some useful infromation as the citation (for example 'named as father...', 'showed to reside at...', 'showed to have occupation...'). An additional benefit of this is that a scanned artifact (ie birth certificate) can be linked just once, to the source. But I like Legacy non the less. ...Kaled On Sat, Oct 25, 2008 at 11:04 AM, Jenny M Benson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Elizabeth Richardson wrote > >> So, Bill, when you look at a book at the library, do you cite the library >> as the source?
