    2. And don't forget the title page of the Bible! By photocopying the title page with the information, (or jpg-ing) it gives the information legitamacy as to when it was created. Bible records by themselves are not primary sources. They could have been written by anyone years later. But by having the title page with the date of printing of the Bible, you can prove that either the dates recorded were primary (written at the time of the event), or secondary information (written later). This will have a bearing on how you weigh conflicting information. And everyone runs into dates from different sources that don't match! If you, your descendants, or anyone who will ever have access to your materials ever considers joining a lineage society, or first families society, they will be required to provide the Bible's title page along with the written information from the Bible... and by then, they may not know how to get it or where the original Bible is. Collecting the source information at the time you collect the data is much easier than trying to get it later.
