I sent a mail yesterday about sources etc and thanks for the prompt response, look forward to the updated v6 manual. I spent last night looking again at the topic and it finally clicked so I now understand the difference between a repository, source and citation. Does anyone have a simple set up for generic repositories? Example is a birth certificate may exist as a paper copy I own. A reference from bmd registers or just a quick find on ancestry. In these three cases would you always put the repository as the general records office? Sorry I know this sounds a daft question but I want to get the referencing right Regards John Firr Sent from my iPhone

I use GRO as the repository for England & Wales certifivates, whether they come from freeBMD, local registrar websites or wherever. Others may be more specific but my view is that GRO is the main repository. I use TNA National Archives for all census since that is ultimately where they come from.
