I just select the Add ICON, above the right column, the blank Citation comes up and I repeat the process. OK - so I have another 1940 Pennsylvania, Chester County entry. Its not needed so I don't include the Citation Text box. That is only for me, as the Citation already had who the Head of Household was. In this case, there is no additional information that the Citation needs for Evidence Explained format. census, population schedule, Pennsylvania, Chester County, Birmingham enumeration district 15-3 sheet number 3-A family number 49 Lines 31 - 34 John Marshall Highley household NARA microfilm publication T627, roll 3467 digital image, (You will see in the above that the Citation Details were inserted into the Reference Notes. census, population schedule, Pennsylvania, Chester County NARA microfilm publication T627, roll 3467 digital image, (So, I put this into the Citation Details box.īirmingham enumeration district 15-3 sheet number 3-A family number 49 Lines 31 - 34 John Marshall Highley householdġ940 U.S. Here is an example of a 1940 Pennsylvania, Chester County 'new citation'ġ940 U.S. If you do NOT have a check mark in the Include Citation Text box, it will not be included. When you tab out of that, the Reference Note is again updated. The Citation Details are now inserted into the Reference Notes. When you Tab to the Citation Text, you will note that the Reference Notes is expanded. That is the information that you want to put into that field. You will notice that there is some greyed text in that field. That information comes from the Template for that Source.
Note: the reference note field is populated when you select Add, as in Add a Citation to this Source. Citation Details, Citation Text, and Reference Notes. So, from the Source Group list, I select 1940 Maryland, Baltimore and click on Add. Now, I find a 1940 Census Record, for Maryland, Baltimore County. So far, I haven't created ANY Citations that link to people.

There are a few fields for to Create a Specific SOURCE.įrom that Free Form Source, we Add Citations. For the census records I don't need to remove the source group title as it is part of the complete citation. All I have to do is edit the reference note removing my source group title and everything prints great. For example I have a newspaper article from a Kentucky newspaper I need to source I just go to the source group called Kentucky newspapers and add my source. I can now find sources I may need to use again very easily. Another advantage is if I want to export my file to another program I don't have to worry if the templates transfer. The next advantage is I can now source census records manually. The biggest advantage so far, my source group list is significantly shorter thus making a bibliography also shorter.
So far I lumped all my census records through 1920 this way and am working on the 1930 census. Census and then I free form my citations. Instead of 75 different source groups for the 1880 census, I now have a source group called 1880 U.S. I have started lumping source groups together. I am now down to 558 and the number is decreasing. Only I am going the other way! I started with over 1000 source groups and it was becoming increasingly difficult to find anything. Russ you have me laughing as I am also cleaning up my source groups and citations.
