In my early family history research I was more inclined to be paper based with a brief note then added within Family Tree Maker. (I am now using Family Tree Maker 2019)
Whilst now thinking of a complete reverse of this, improve the amount of detail added to the program and ultimately reduce the amount of paper and files, I have also now realised that all my Source Citation information currently noted in FTM in this area is minimal and very poor.
So that I can try and get some system going and thus correct this error I have been looking at Youtube videos on Source Citations. Cousin Russ. Ancestry’s Crista Cowan (The Barefoot Genealogist). But they are all American Records based and seemed (well to me anyway) to be aimed at least at those that have some awareness of this use and I am struggling to link what is being said to UK records.
Does anyone know of a helpful UK records based Source Citations for Dummies tutorial. Perhaps a template idea for UK Census and BMD records would at least get me started.
