I agree to what Jens and Erik has written in this thread. But I will add a couple of comments. Emigration. When I am working with emigrants from Norway, my sources are the Emigration Archives in Norway. It is obvious to everybody that every person in these archives emigrated from Norway. But they emigrated to different countries, so that is the most important information to enter in the place field. In the source field we put for example Emigration Archive for Stavanger, Norway. Immigration. When I am working with immigrant archives for a spesific country, I know that every person immigrated to that country - let us say USA. But they came from different countries - that is the most important information to put in the place field. With the immigration archive for that country in the source field. So don't change anything.
