Thank you Gene and Russell. Your explanations are very helpful. So, when
would one use a Generic designation? Geoff Rasmussen used it in some of his
demos.

Okay, I'll run the following up the flag pole again, since no one responded a
while ago.
How should one record the following in Legacy using the Source Writer. I was
trying to understand how to classify types of documents/data and find the
appropriate source type using the "What kind of source" data field.
A child received "The Blessing of Little Children" rather than being
Christened or baptized as an infant. The name of the child, parents, birthdate,
church and date of blessing along with the names of the officiating ministers
are recorded in a commemorative card/pamphlet that was given to the parents.
Didn't see anything that was appropriate in the big list of source types.
Would this be a generic source?
I would use: Church records>Church brochures, newsletters, newspapers,
etc>Basic Format> then fill out the form:
Title: The Blessing of Little Children
Record Type: Commemorative card/pamphlet
fill out rest of form
Text/Comments: whatever you want
Repository: You
Multimedia: scan of document
The parents of a child received a certificate of birth from the hospital.
This is supposedly a commemorative document and not considered the legal birth
certificate from the state of residence. What type of document would this be
considered? generic or birth record at the local/county level?
Artifact>Privately held>fill in blanks
Repository> you
The newlyweds received a Certificate of Marriage from the officiating
minister. Again, this is not a marriage license, but a commemorative
document/pamphlet. It cites the names of those married, the location (city &
state, not the church, although the name of the church is known), date of the
ceremony, witnesses and the officiating minister. It is not known whether the
church recorded the marriage in 1945. Again, is this considered a generic
document? I did not see anything that looked like a match in the type of source
lists.
This would be an original Certificate of Marriage I would use:
Marriage records>Frakturs>Basic format> fill in the blanks
Repository: you
What about the little funeral service card...would this be considered a
funeral announcements, artifact-privately held? or would this also be
considered generic?
Funeral home records>Privately held>fill in blanks
Repository: you
Since I am in possession of all of the above, would they be considered part
of my personal repository, or would they be assigned to the organization the
issued the document?

Is this the appropriate venue to ask questions about source types related
to source writer input? If not, please let me know who/what group should be
contacted. Thank you.
