There are five choices in the "military" sources templates. Are your copies photo copies or digitized copies? I would choose one of the under Military choices and use one for all parts of one Civil War Pension. I have affidata's request for , payroll sheet etc.. in one Pension File with one record number. I may use one of template: Military. Mine are actual photo copies direct from NARA [1983] way before any were digitized and put on web sites. But I always state in the footnote, date of assessed and type of copy. I also have not transferred this source from the way it was in free form before the templates became available. There are some other more inclusive free forms templates in forum section on Tips and Helps, that might work better for you. TomH has one on his website I believe. Tough choice. Remember you want you or someone else to be able to find it again... Nettie's Genbits Annette DeCourcy Towler

Elizabeth Shown Mills was the one who stated using the NA (US) Manuscripts in an archived discussion on APG listserve. RM set up the template to follow that format from Evidence Explained. For those of you who wish to create your own template you may want to see this pamphlet on the NA site. http://www.archives.gov/publications/general-info-leaflets/17-citing-records.pdf Suzanne On Sat, Jun 9, 2012 at 1:34 PM, Genbits <genbits@charter.net> wrote: > There are five choices in the "military" sources templates.

This is a great pamphlet Suzanne. Thanks for sharing. It helps by identifying what to include in some of the fields in the NA (U.S.) Manuscripts template. Thanks!
