I just received my copy of Elizabeth Shown Mills' updated book on sourcing.
I have a question about sourcing things like census records. In her book
Mills shows how to source a census record from microfilm or from an on-line
resource. My question is...why does it matter? If I source the town(ship),
county, state, page #, and family/household # - isn't that sufficient for me
or someone else to located that exact same entry? What is the significance
of having to type in the Ancestry, Heritage Quest, microfilm info? I'm
probably missing something really obvious here...and this probably will all
be taken care of when Legacy 7 comes out with their source templates, but
I'm just curious of why my Legacy sources need to include some much extra
information (beyond the basics so someone can locate the same census page
I'm referring to.
Thanks,
Diane
