I have recently acquired two books with lots of information about several of my family lines. These books are "Heritage" books, published by Heritage Publishing Consultants in Alabama. The books contain many stories, genealogies, and pictures from Alabama. They have published one for each county. The stories are submitted by different individuals and most of them have referenced the sources they used. I want to include the specific submitter as the author of the material, but I want to use the book as my Master Source.
This will probably turn out to be a lumping vs. splitting question, but I don't want to get too far into this and have to redo all my source entries. Here are my options as I see them so far: 1. Have one master source - the book itself. Use the page number and name of the story as the source detail and put the submitter's name in the comments section with the detail. 2. Have a master source for each story that I am citing - sort of like EE 12.64 Edited Works: Citing Chapter Author I started out using option 1, but now I'm leaning toward option 2 because some of these stories have so much info that it might be easier to enter the detail, as well as find the master source I want to use from the list, if the story names are given. However, I can't find a source template that really works for this. I know I can create my own using the basic source writer, but I do LOVE the templates! I value the opinion of this group, since I've learned so much from all of you. Let me know what you think. (BTW - I know these are all secondary sources and not to be trusted, especially since I've found errors regarding my own gg grandmother, so I'll do the appropriate verifying. I just want to get this part right.)
