I'm using an application to store and work on my research. I can have a source, with multiple entities referring to it. Each entity has a unique "page" for the source. Additionally each source can have multiple media items under it. So I have sources like:
- United States Census, 1920
- United States Census, 1930
- United States Census, 1940
- Pennsylvania Death Certificates
- Ohio Marriage Records
- Ohio Marriage Certificate
- Ohio Death Certificate
Under each source I have Media images labeled like:
- United States Census, 1930
- Carnegie Ward 1, 15B
- Pittsburgh Ward 12, 6B
- Cleveland District 809, 10B
- Ohio Death Certificate
- 1939, #44796
- 1948, #67623
- 1950, #66703
Each person/event is then sourced like:
- John Doe, Death
- Ohio Death Certificate, Page: 1939, #44796
- Jane Doe, Death
- Ohio Death Certificate, Page: 1948, #67623
- Mary Poppins, Census
- United States Census, 1930, Page: Cleveland District 809, 10B
Is this OK? Should I be doing it different? I thought about having each item be a source Ohio Death Certificate, Page: 1948, #67623
but then I would have a ton of sources in no real groups. Right now I'm at < 500 people and < 100 documents but I'm getting more documents each day. What so people with > 1000 people and documents do?
