Ancestry.com is like a repository and that should never be used as a source. How would the group feel about using the url where the data was found within Ancestry.com? The database name would be subject to change, but .... Other thoughts on this topic please. John Okerson Lakeland, TN

    3. What I do for all of my sourcing is to use the original source. If it is a census then I enter the full name of the census. An example of this is shown below: "Ref: 1851 Census, Saint Stephen Parish, Charlotte Co., NB, p84, age 6 1861 Census, St. Stephen Parish(lower), Chalotte Co., NB, p117, age 18" This allows a person to use whatever repository that has these census to check the accuracy of my data and to also view what other families may be present in close proximity to the given family. I would not use the URL as that is subject to change. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Arnold E.
