These are critical pieces of information and description that will vary according to any individuals ability to understand what they mean and how they are constructed. I certainly take serious issue with both in the construction of title and citation with regard to almost all familysearch formulations - particularly UK census records that completely fail to cite the UK National Archives and the TNAs own citation reference utilising ClassPieceFolioPage.... I were to use this means of putting sources in the Source Box I would wantneed to be able to modify the title and citation.... I missed something Reply Delete Replies Reply nancy June 14, 2012 at 9:03 AM Great idea, especially when using iPad. However, although able to save 2 1940 census entries, when I went to source box to create a folder, crashes all the way back to website entry page requires logging in again. Same problem on windows laptop, in addition to iPad - and cannot even access stored records before crash. Reply Delete Replies Reply Stewart June 14, 2012 at 12:28 PM Fair play to FamilySearch... Having added the family search source to your Source Box you then copy the added source... I do note that in as far as my testing has gone on this... Family Search transcription pages and does not allow the original image (if available) to be referenced to the source. I can suppose that the thinking is that any other user accessing the source document will only see the Family Search transcription and from that point can access the source document if validated by their LDS or Family Search log-in.
