Display/Edit Source: Help

Every source that is referenced by a citation in the family tree is recorded in the Sources Master List.

You get to this web page by clicking on the link on the numeric key field on the Sources Master List web page or by clicking on a source in the footnotes of an individual page. The following information is displayed:

• The title of the source. This is almost always the same as the name.
• The author of the source.
• The publisher of the source.
• Text quoted from the source.
• The notes field can be used to explain the usage of a source or for any other purpose you choose.
• The Repository is where a copy of the source can be found, usually a public archive or library.
• The home page of the repository.
• The call number is the identifier used by the Repository to identify this source. For example this might be a Dewey Decimal number or a Library of Congress (LC) code. It may also be a hyperlink to a web page where the source itself may be viewed.

If you are currently signed on and authorized to modify sources, an Edit button appears at the bottom of this page.
