Re: [Gramps-users] Sources, media and galleries: how to tie it all up "as intended"

[F. M. <fs...@gm...>]

Hi,

Sorry for the extra reply but just found something that I was
overlooking and that seems to make a difference:
(...)
>> Source on my census model looks like :
>>
>> * Title : {census event} {date} {address} ("{}" just for illustration)
>> * Media objects or Notes (at option)
>> * SourceRef on Repository (call number tab)
(...)
>> For parish issue maybe, parish archive could be your repository (with
>> address) and you can still add an URL on internet tab (i.e
>> http://www.ancestry.co.uk/), current numerical code (i.e Piece number RG
>> 11/2854) will be the call number and one source per page with Note(s) and
>> Media Object(s).

I read this before my last message but was unsure what "call number"
exactly meant since I didn't saw it. I have now found it in the
Source->Repository reference and it does seem to make a difference on
how to approach things:

If there is a call number in there then at least part of my previous
division was wrong. I had:

Repository: Parochy of Argh
Source: Parochy of Argh Birth Records
Event sourceref: point to the above Source but add "Year 1890, Page
60" to the Vol/Pag field.

With the  call number in the Source->Repository reference this would
change since the "Year" could perhaps be put in the "call number".
Heck, perhaps the whole detailed entry (page, registry number) could
end up in the call number, but then I would definitely have to change
my approach to one-source-per-page. This adds yet another layer of
complexity to the available choices.

I'm really lost in how to apply this to what I think are rather
typical sources: birth, marriage and death records kept in civil or
Catholic archives and that are generally composed of one or more books
per year (or group of years), with a specific page (and register
number if applicable) that is generally also available as a scanned
image. Between the Repository, Sources, Call Number, Sourcerefs (and
Vol/Pag field) the number of possible permutations is not small.
