Hello.

It looks like examples are going to keep everyone thinking.

I have another example. Actually it is two example from the same parent
webpage. It looks at two marriage books from Knox County, Kentucky.
These are website images, but I have worked with both of the actual
volumes.

Book A (1800-1850)

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kyknox/Marriage-Certificates/Book-A/Book-A.html
<http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Ekyknox/Marriage-Certificates/Book-A/Book-A.html>;

Book B

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kyknox/Marriage-Certificates/Book-B/Book-B.html
<http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Ekyknox/Marriage-Certificates/Book-B/Book-B.html>;

1. Original or derivative sources?
2. Primary or secondary information? Which pieces of information fit
those categories?
3. Do you give more weight to Book A or Book B for common research
questions such as "John Doe marries Jane Smith"?
4. Do you have any thoughts on this example?

Happy hunting,

Michele
