Jorge makes sense. What better explanation? I've said for years there ought to be a section for "Member-submitted" sources that follow another form. Then we could merge them right in. After all, those of us who have been sourcing for 30+ years before this latest form was introduced may not have enough years left to do them over. (And if we do them over and it changes yet again, what then?) There are many sourcing standards out there. So including a reference to a source in the explanation is a workable compromise. Then I can get on with research.

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. 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.
