Source talk:"1887 Greene County Iowa Biographical Sketches," Database, Greene County Genealogical Society, RootsWeb Hosted

What is this? [11 May 2013]

Admin here, reviewing recent sources. What is this source? Is it a book that was published in hard copy? Searchable on Ancestry? Is it a database of sketches added to Rootsweb? Where can it be found? Please clarify -- the title needs work, but how to change it depends on what the source is. Thanks.--Amelia 01:04, 11 May 2013 (EDT)

Sorry, I'd meant to come back to this one. When I was reviewing my GEDCOM before import, I saw this and couldn't manage to track it to the actual record for more information, so I quickly entered what I could and then forgot to fix it. Which might be a good thing because now I'm not sure how it should be entered anyway and I realize I made a couple of errors that are horribly obvious even to me (the repository is RootsWeb which is free, not Ancestry which is paid). The original source is a book, but I only had access to excerpts. The addy is http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~iagcgs/1887bios.htm - I'm already up way past my bedtime, so I'm not gonna try to fix it tonight (I'd probably just make it worse :D). Please let me know what I need to do and I'll clean it up sometime this weekend. Thanks.--DeeJay30 03:55, 11 May 2013 (EDT)
