Mary, I inherited Pike County, Mississippi from a close friend, Allan Thomas who passed away.

I am not sure about the age for tax rolls. I would assume at least the age of 18.

I added your email to this page. If you can add to it. Thanks

Hi Mary,

although I'm happy when the number of the profiles in the category goes down, I would be still curious why you removed the category from all those profiles?

Kind regards from Black Forest

Hi Florian,

I thought you had suggested I do so based on the paid research that I had shared with you by email.

Florian Straub

Ah right, I remember. Where it would still be a good idea, to also add that as a source in the profiles.

Looks a lot better, maybe add religious denomination (Catholic/Protestant), to rule out any potential confusion.

A citation is the *internet address* of the source you are using as evidence for birth, marriage, divorce, death, residence, military service, and even burial (the major life events). Many people want to see the evidence themselves and that citation gives them the address so they can go examine the information for themselfs. "Trust but verify"

Most frequently used citations ref to city, county, state or parish, and national documents. Those are the records recquired by laws to be filed with the appropriate authority

This is a citation. It is for 1900. It lists the people in a given household at the time a census was enumerated. A Census is an Event. The Census can be used as a proxy for "these two people were married" when you have not (yet) located a marriage record for the Event of Marriage. It also serves to locate in time / space the particular people in the census return (1900 in Cowley, Kansas). Geography is as important as the correct date of an Event.

"United States Census, 1900," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MMTD-CS9 : accessed 27 December 2021), Mary L Snodgrass in household of W S Snodgrass, Richland Township, Cowley, Kansas, United States; citing enumeration district (ED) 58, sheet 6A, family 118, NARA microfilm publication T623 (Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 1972.); FHL microfilm 1,240,476.

A source is where the information is found. You have a census return in hand and the male is listed as Head, the woman is listed as Wife. That is the source of the information that they were married insofar as is known at the moment. So you use the citation about the census as a proxy for the Event of Marriage. If a marriage record (the marriage is the Event) is located, you can substitute the URL for the marriage record while editing the date and location of the marriage.

In the census there might be listed 4 children and for the Head, there might be also listed his mother (widowed) and two of his brothers (neither one married) and so this census will be by proxy ref the various relationships. After some research to confirm the "mother" is not step-mother and brothers are full or half brothers.

Thank you Susan. This is very helpful. I am trying to clean up some of my profiles,

So on WikiTree, do I use the following as an inline reference or just place it directly beneath the Source section with an *?

Or would it be better to add the following as the inline reference:

"United States Census, 1900," (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MMTD-CS9 : accessed 27 December 2021), Mary L Snodgrass in household of W S Snodgrass, Richland Township, Cowley, Kansas, United States; citing enumeration district (ED) 58, sheet 6A, family 118, NARA microfilm publication T623

and the following to the Sources section.

"United States Census, 1900," database with images, FamilySearch NARA microfilm publication T623 (Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 1972.); FHL microfilm 1,240,476.

For another example, I'd ask the same question (relevant to Thomas-63972)

For a hardcover book that has been referenced on a website, would i put the website and the name of the book as an inline reference

"Groninger gedenkwaardigheden. Teksten, wapens en huismerken van 1298-1814" https://www.redmeralma.nl/westeremden.htm#4059.

and add the pages of other books that were used as a source in the first book as another inline reference.

Grafschriften in Stad en Lande. p. 399

and then add the details of both books & publication info as an * item below the source line

A. Pathuis, "Groninger gedenkwaardigheden. Teksten, wapens en huismerken van 1298-1814"

(Assen/Amsterdam 1977), met aanvullingen en correcties door R.H. Alma.

J. A. Feith, C. H. van Rhijn, Jb. Vinhuizen en G.A. Wumkes. Grafschriften in Stad en Lande. Groningen 1910. Met afbeeldingen.

Better is a matter of choice ... you will see both approaches.

Myself, if I have the info in the Biog, I use the inline citation. If I do not have that info in the Biog I use the * method ... that is to say, the person may have citations (found at familysearch) for 5 census returns but I only use the one for the parents' transcript showing their relationship, for the marital partner(s) showing the relationship(s) and for the children, ditto. If I have a marriage record, that becomes usually inline. A burial record, usually inline. etc

If you want to see an exceptionally well done profile with all manner of citations for an incredible number of sources, study https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson

It is stunning. Not a lot of city, county, state issued citations but most certainly books, journals, letters, and etc

I do not use books, journals and etc. so I am not familiar with the styles. But the Jefferson Biography DOES use those sources and DOES provide citations so that would be a better instructor for how-to

Ah, and *repository* info ... if the journal or letter or bible or etc is in the person possession of a person, this should be stated in the citation; if in a museum or library, ditto. The repository is where the actual item is physically located.

The Thomas Jefferson site has so far as I could discern very nearly every kind of citation possible.

Hello, Mary!

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s VERY IMPORTANT to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.
