Also known as "personal sources", MySources are sources of a personal, rather than a general interest, relevant chiefly to one WeRelate user's own research. A list of types of sources that would be considered "personal sources" would include birth certificates, family bibles and other family documents. If you create MySource pages for such documents, you can repeatedly link to them from your person and family pages. This way you can reuse MySources without re-entering the reference information. See About MySources.
You can create a source page for any source by clicking on the blue Wiki tab at the top of the screen, and then on "Sources". For MySources, scroll down to the Personal Sources heading, and in the Title: field under "Go to or add a personal source page", enter the name of the source. Click on "Add new page". Fill out the edit boxes and click "Save page".
To create a MySource page for a personal source as you cite it, enter "MySource:your user name/name of the source" (e.g., "MySource:Ericblazek/John Townsend Birth Certificate") in the Title: input box of a source on a person or family page. Then save the page, click on the red link for the MySource, and click on the "Edit" link to create the MySource page.
For now, your best bet is to click on the blue MyRelate tab at the top of the screen, and then on the View contributions link under the Contributions heading. In the Namespace: field at the top of the screen, select "MySource". This will show you a list of all the MySource pages you have created or edited. In the future, we hope to simplify this process and allow you to easily manage a list of your MySources.
After the namespace and a colon (:), comes the WeRelate user name of the person creating the page, and a forward slash (/). When you create a MySource page using the Sources page, the page is automatically assigned to the correct namespace and user name designation.
As MySources are personal sources, you can name them what you wish. It should be something easy for you to remember, so you can easily link to the MySource page on other pages you are editing. This is an example of a complete MySource page title: MySource:Solveig/Willie Haynie Birth Certificate.
