I have a great number of cemetery pictures, newspaper articles, census
records, etc. to put in as sources. I've read about 'generic' sources--can
someone explain exactly what is meant by 'generic sources'? I know what
generic medications are but I can't relate that to genealogical sources!.
Thanks for an explanation to what is no doubt an obvious and simple answer.
