A couple of days ago I started work on cleaning up the Family Tree record for my g-g-g-grandparents Hiram Winters and Rebecca Burdick. Both had over 30 sources but a lot of the sources needed extensive editing to make them useful. One source I have not been able to improve:<br /><br />Title: Legacy NFS Source: Hiram Winters - death: 21 October 1889; Pleasant Grove, Utah, Utah, United States<br />Citation: The Genealogical Magazine, Brigham Young University, Harold B. Lee Library, Page number: Vol. 19, page 128 and 130<br /><br />I have not been able to determine the actual publisher of this magazine or the date or place of publication. I am assuming that BYU and the HBL Library came from the "Repository" field in the New Family Search sources form. I would also love to get a copy of the full article to which this source is referring in order to get any and all information it might include.<br /><br />By the way, when I say the sources needed extensive editing, here is one example.<br /><br />One source was: Title: Sons of the Utah Pioneers: Biography Files (R-Z)<br />and nothing more.<br /><br />I changed it to:<br />Title: Rebecca Burdick in Sons of the Utah Pioneers: Biography Files (R-Z) (Ancestry.com)<br />Web page: http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=Sup19&gss=sfs28_ms_db&new=1&rank=1&msT=1&gsfn=rebecca&gsfn_x=NP_NN_NIC&gsln=winters&gsln_x=NP_NN&MSAV=1&uidh=2oz<br />Citation: Ancestry.com. Sons of the Utah Pioneers: Biography Files (R-Z) [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 2002.<br />Original data: Biography Files. Salt Lake City, UT, USA: Sons of the Utah Pioneers.<br />Notes:Name: Rebecca Burdick Winters<br />Death Date: 15 Aug 1852 <br />"About Sons of the Utah Pioneers: Biography Files (R-Z)<br />This database in a index to the biography files which have been turned in to the Sons of Utah Pioneers library by descendants of the people whose life story is recorded on the sheets. Some of them are short, some more extensive. Some have journal entries or diaries and many have pictures. Most of files have family group and pedigree sheets showing family ties. Time periods range from 1600's to present. In many cases, only the primary name will be have been indexed and the researcher should refer to the SUP for whatever additional information may be available."<br /> <br />I know you have written about sources before, but will you be including how to make sources actually useful in your current series on cleaning up Family Tree in your other blog?Gordon Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10501621351412089615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-79424546209305929072015-09-09T20:31:57.380-07:002015-09-09T20:31:57.380-07:00I'm not particularly criticizing the list and ...I'm not particularly criticizing the list and after all, the National Archives is not, strictly speaking, a library. Although it could be considered as a library in a very general sense.
