Duplicate source? [23 April 2011]

It appears this source is a duplicate of Source:Worcester, Worcester, Massachusetts, United States. Worcester Births, Marriages, and Deaths. Do you agree they should be merged and if so, which would be the best title (prefaced by place of course): Worcester Births, Marriages, and Death (on title page of book), Vital Records to the Year 1849 (shortened version to eliminate duplicate location in title), or Vital Records of Worcester, Massachusetts, to the End of the Year 1849? Thanks, --Jennifer (JBS66) 11:35, 23 April 2011 (EDT)

Since ma-vitalrecords.org is so handy, I never knew about Births, Marriages, and Deaths, since ma-vitalrecords.org doesn't display that title anywhere, but uses VR to 1849 at the top of the index page, and uses a background on the associated pages that says VR from 1684 to 1850. I spot checked a few of the entries and they match and page numbers agree, so clearly seems to be the same source, and BMD indeed is the official title on the title page according to the scanned images in books.google.com. So I would use BMD. Thanks. --Jrich 15:30, 23 April 2011 (EDT)

Done, thanks for looking into this! --Jennifer (JBS66) 16:53, 23 April 2011 (EDT)
