I recently received photographs of the complete pension and CMSR. Hundreds of photos taken by a friend while at NARA. I want to source them correctly but can't figure out exactly how to make it a good citation. I looked at the templates already in RM5 but all of them are for filmed versions of the records. I tried to create a new source citation, but it just doesn't look right. Has anyone created a source citation, and is willing to share it, for Civil War Pension files and the CMSR that are not filmed, but are digital images of the actual papers? Thanks for helping! -- Tim Cox timdcoxsf@gmail.com San Francisco

Bless you for asking this question, Tim! I'm in the same situation (plus I'm new to RootsMagic). Someone (somewhere in my readings) recommended citing each document in the pension file (each one you use for gen. purposes, anyway) as a separate source. I can see that this could have some merit, especially since my pension files has several dozen documents, only a few of which contain gen. information. I'd love to hear what others who are experienced have done with regard to Civil War pension files. Thanks, Nancy. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Cox <timdcoxsf@gmail.com> To: ROOTSMAGIC-USERS <ROOTSMAGIC-USERS@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sat, Jun 9, 2012 3:45 pm Subject: [RMagic] Source Template for Civil War Pension files I recently received photographs of the complete pension and CMSR.

Under Source Types select N.A. (U.S.) Manuscripts. This references Evidence Explained [EE, QC-11, p 541, sec 11.43, p 608] No need to create a new template.

Hi Nancy, Yes, I'm also anxious to see if there are any customized templates out there in RM land.
