Hi Scott,

Doing a search in the SourceWriter templates for "gedcom" there is a gedcom
template that even references Mill's _EE_. However, this template does not
address "online family trees", but rather addresses actual gedcom files
obtained from another researcher.

I believe that for the online family trees, the generic "online database"
template would work, with fields filled out to match  _EE_ as appropriate.
(see page 156 - section 3.44).

Hope this helps,
Dan Bateham

Subject: [LegacyUG] Missing citation in Mills' book for family trees found
online?


OK, Elizabeth Shown Mills fans ... while I like Mills' book a lot, it
still seems a little light on information found online.

I can find no information on how to properly cite family trees and
GEDCOMs files published to the web.  ProGenealogists provides
guidance, but beause Legacy Source Writer's tempates are based on
Mills book and she seem to omit this source, I can't find a good
Source Writer template to use.  Even though the data extracted is a
secondary source, until it is verified and repalced with a primary
source, I want to ensure its cited properly.

For all you neurotic, gotta-get-the-citation-right researchers like
me, which template do you use?

Thanks,
Scott
