Re: Add media to sources, source citations or both?

Rosemary,

I just thought of something else. Based on this discussion, one would treat a Photograph of a person to a Source.

I am trying to figure out WHY, someone would want to link a Media file to a Source? How would it be used?

Also, the term that has been used here is "Source Citation". I consider those two words, TWO different things. Family Tree Maker and Ancestry.com put those two terms together many times, but I still think there is a Source of Information, and the Citation being where in the Source did you find that information.

1940 United States Federal Census is a Source (very large one)

A Book is a source.

The Census Page would have a Citation for that Page / Sheet, as would the book.

Citations are linked to a Source
Citation media linked to the Citation

The Census Page Image, would be linked to Citation, which is linked to the source.

I guess, that if you really look at a Reference Note, in Evidence Explained! or an FTM2012 Template based Reference Note, that would contain the Source information and the Citation Information.

The Source has a screen and the Citation has a different screen.

Only One User's opinion.
