Hi everyone I hav'nt posted to this site before but hope someone will be able to help me, I have read the book to no avail, it either does;nt address the issue or more likely went over my head ( am getting a bit long in the tooth). My problem is- I have a single source - UK, Register of Duties Paid for Apprentices' Indentures, 1710-1811 Within that there are a number of records of individuals of interest each of which has an associated jpeg. I assume these are the citations. I realise that I could proceed treating each record as an individual source, but that does'nt seem right. The sort of process I am looking for is that achieved by the excellant AS input program in relation to multiple Baptisms in the same church. To compund matters further I cant work out how to relate a particular jpeg to a Fact within in an Individual s Record rather than the whole Record ie. so that a "1" appears in the media column. I hope some kind person takes pity on an oldun, I have little enogh hair as it is. Regards Ray G
Hi Ray Yes, to treat each record as a separate Source is only going to give you a headache with the number of sources you will end up with. You are correct in assuming that the Citation links your bit of data to a generalised Source (Register of duties Paid...). The only time you would need a new Source for apprentices is for a new register, say for 1812 - to whatever. I am sure someone else will answer the rest of your query.
