Hi Nancy, I’m not sure I follow everything you’re saying but suffice to say that your reply is a perfect illustration of why we need to include the state – you assumed it was Troy, New York, but it’s actually Troy, Ohio. The source template I used has a field for city and state, but, as you say, it’s redundant to fill in the city if it’s part of the title. On the other hand, I think it’s important to record the state regardless of whether it’s part of the title or not – for the very reason that many states have cities with the same name. What’s odd is why Legacy has a field for state at all when it does not appear to print out or appear in any occurrence of the source.
Barton From: Nancy Stevens [mailto:nancystevens4...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2015 1:26 PM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Obituaries I think Barton is correct in thinking that the name of the state should go in the citation if the city is not known. To follow EE precisely it would be Troy (New York) Daily News. Using the place field in Legacy produces (New York) Troy Daily News, which is probably close enough. Repeating the state name in the place field results in the place name being repeated in the bibliography -- New York. New York. Troy Daily News. You might avoid having to use override by including the state in the title with Troy (New York) Daily News as the title and New York. Troy (New York) Daily News.

To address your questions, there will be a title even if it is only “Obituaries” each section of the paper has a title. Here is an example: "Births," Hattiesburg American, 11 August 1971, p. 29, col. 4; digital images, NewspaperArchive (http://www.newspaperarchive.com : accessed 04 October 2013). Depending on the newspaper and the time period each individual entry might have a title. Here is an example. "Bury Simmons on tomorrow," Hattiesburg American, 03 November 1926, p. 5, col. 4; digital images, NewspaperArchive (http://www.newspaperarchive.com : accessed 22 February 2014). Here is an example using your exact template (I have this clipping in my possession so no repository). "Mr. William C. Maddox, Jr.," The Augusta Chronicle, 28 August 2013, p. 4B, col. 3. I checked this against Evidence Explained (your question about the state not displaying). The name of the state only appears in the Bibliographic entry, not the footnote. (EE 14.22) Also, if the name of the city is in the title, you do not type it in again. Here is your citation “Donna P. Kennedy,” (Troy) Troy Daily News, 3 Nov 1987, p. 5. You don’t need the (Troy). You CAN add the repository if you want to. You can type in the text/comments. I am making up the repository info but this is what it would look like. “Donna P. Kennedy,” Troy Daily News, 3 Nov 1987, p. 5; Miami Country Public Library, microfilm no. 560291, Troy, Ohio.
