    1. [TGF] Census - Primary or Secondary

    3. I bought myself Evidentia Software for Christmas and am learning what I don't know about documenting evidence. Am I right that evidence is primary if the person providing the information has reason to know and secondary if someone other than the person involved gave the information. So are census records primary if the person you are researching was an adult and alive at the time or is it secondary because you don't know for sure who gave the information to the census taker? -- * Kathie Fortner* * <[email protected]>* *www.fortner.50megs.com <http://www.fortner.50megs.com>*
