Yes, I do often have such multiple Citations of one Source, and if done manually then it is a chore, but I use Ancestral Sources that semi-automates the process for the most common Sources of Census, Birth, Baptism, Marriage, Death & Burial.

I always have multiple Citations to a Source. I start a new record with an 'origin' source/citaion which I attach to the whole data item i.e. an Individual, Family etc. Included in this original entry is everything I can glean from the Source of the original data - if it's the IGI then it could be a Name, Surname, place of baptism, birth, burial dates etc. all in one go. I don't cite each Fact separately initially. If I receive a bit of information that corrects or adds to an already existing Fact then I create a new Citation to indicate the new or amended data. If I receive new Fact data then I create a new Citation. So, if I have a census derived birth year then initially it will be Cited using my '18** Census Image' Source. If I find the actual birth year/date later I will add a new Citation, say 'Birth Certificate', to 'correct' the original census calculated date. I also use a 'Change Source' where I want to preserve old data like a name change i.e. she is Ellen on 4 census but when I get the Birth Certificate she is actually Helen. I will add a 'Change' Source and the Citation will describe the change from Ellen to Helen thus preserving the traceability of information for later users of my data. This method I might use for corrected Birth Years etc. David -----Original Message----- From: family-historian-users-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:family-historian-users-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Beryl & Mike Tate via Sent: 25 December 2015 22:38 To: family-historian-users@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [FHU] Evidence Yes, I do often have such multiple Citations of one Source, and if done manually then it is a chore, but I use Ancestral Sources that semi-automates the process for the most common Sources of Census, Birth, Baptism, Marriage, Death & Burial.
