Re: [Gramps-users] Another citation question: FamilySearch

[Peter G <sai...@ya...>]

I'd leave the repository at Family Search, not Family Search, Country Records Collection.

For source, generally follow your #1 example, but add to the source, "compiled by Family Search from individual Oregon county records 1851 - 1975"

and add to the citation what county the marriage was registered in. 


Also, look at this page on who Family Search recommends citing this set:  
https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Oregon_County_Marriages_%28FamilySearch_Historical_Records%29

>This way feels more like it's naming the actual source of the data, but: (a) FamilySearch gives very little information about the originals they scanned, so I don't know where they are, what form they're in, which book or reel or whatever my specific citation comes from, etc; and (b) I'm not sure where to put the URL of the specific record.
