citation, I will put a small quote in the detail area of the source. Here is an example of a will I have. For one
son, this is the detail. '2nd. I give devise and bequeath to my son Martin Stafford Eaton all of my real estate
forever.' As for numbering the pages, in your transcript you assign the numbers. If you send to someone else,
they can renumber as desired.
Good luck

I am working so hard to learn to do sourcing consistently and well and so have been thinking about your questions for these few days, Bill. When you say "I have numbered", I believe if you enter your page number in any one of the {'Source Detail for Name'} screen that is found as a subpage of the Master Source which lists the Civil War Pension File, and then enter your page numbers into {'Enter the Details for this Source Citation. This is usually a page number or range'}, it will not help others find the same information when they order the records from the NARA. The records are not sent in any particular order; that depends. A cousin and I have ordered Civil War Pension records for the same person. She received two more pages than I received.
Could you put the title of the page or description of the page along with dates or other identifying information into the {'Enter the Details for this Source Citation. This is usually a page number or range'} on each pertinent{ 'Source Detail for Name'} screen? This may involve entering quite a few detail records, longer lines in the {'Enter the Details for this Source Citation. This is usually a page number or range'}, and more work, but it is the only way I can think of that you can convey the exact page within a record. Knowing that different orders of the same file can result in different number of pages also means that just naming the pension record could mean that whomever is reverifying and looking at records you used, may not even receive one of the pages which you used and they would discount your work.
I've also considered what I would think if I were the person reading your work and source citations. I would cheer that you would do such great sourcing and would be so appreciative when I ordered the Civil War Pension File myself. It would truly be helpful.

I have a source -- A Civil War Pension File In this file there are several documents birth record I can citing parents names as well as children, place of birth, witness to birth (doctor) date of birth, death record death date name again, name of spouse if marriied, where he/her dead marriage record name of both man and women, place, afidvant on being in the army description of soilder. and several others.
I have numbered the different pages of the pension file start. I now want to cite each document to the differernt areas in Legacy ... Where do I show the diferent pages within the pension file so the viewer can go and see them his self?
I have in the past used one source for one document. Any ideas
