The "add to my source box" that you are looking for is on the indexed page of the source, NOT on the image page, nor on the first pages of possible matches when you are searching. So when you click on add to my source box it automatically creates the source with the citation all filled in for you. Your source box is a temporary holding box, you still go to the person then click on source box down in that person's sources area and then attach that source to the person. I highly recommend the best sourcing videos I have seen found on James Tanner's blog. His blog is well worth following as he creates many easy to understand videos relating to FamilySearch.

Deanne, I've been able to use the "Add to Source Box" link on pages with images that have not been indexed. I don't know what makes them different from other unindexed images and why they don't also have the same link. Sorry if I caused confusion because I did not realize that I might be experiencing an exception to the rule. Now I'm curious as to why it works for the images I use and not for others. Hmmmm. -Terri J.

There's a world of difference. Within the Historical Records, no index, the SourceBox' Create a Source is useless because the first line does not describe the record sufficiently, then use TreeConnect and you can edit the first line to describe what it is. Here is the difference: My Source Box - Add New York, Probate Records, 1629-1971; pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-24579-13610-49 (uneditable) TreeConnect Richard Phillips will, Chenango Co NY Will Book Vol L (editable) So which one will you use in cases of no index?

Deanne Moore, and Kathy Shipley -- thank you. Now I have an answer to my question. The "Add a source" button is there for INDEXED records only -- not searchable record images. That's alright, I will go ahead and use what I have. I am thinking -- maybe instead of adding a non-standard source, I will simply post the link as I answer the question "why do you feel this information is correct?" -- Jorge -----Mensagem Original----- From: Deanne Moore Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2013 5:34 PM To: lds-ward-consultant@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [LDS-WC] Adding a source The "add to my source box" that you are looking for is on the indexed page of the source, NOT on the image page, nor on the first pages of possible matches when you are searching.
