Hi Cathy I use personal Knowledge as follows I create a source for each individual whom gives me informal verbal information. In the source I name the Individual who gave me the information. In the citation detail I put, "Principles Mother" or whatever, principle being who the information is about. I feel an Interview is either a written question and answer session, or a taped interview. Hope this makes sense and helps. -- Regards, L.E.S.
