I did not include the name in the descriptive title because that means that I would have to have a unique source for each birth certificate. So if I had 100 birth certificates then I would have 100 sources. The way I decided to do it is that I would have only one birth certificate source but with 100 different citations. I also decided that the source would only tell me where I got the item and not contain what I found. The citation would tell me where in the source I found that exact certificate within the collection.
This is just the way I do it. That dose not make it the correct way. You just need to decide how you want to do it and stick with it. Your way is just as good as mine only we differ but in my opinion as long as you stick with the way you are doing it you will be just fine.
I keep waiting for Ben to come out with the RM5 template to see how mine looks compared to his.

I’m new to Reunion/quoting sources/Practical Citation so some of the things discussed I have no idea what people are referring to.
