Family talk:John Julien and Elizabeth Butler (1)


Marriage Record Source [28 September 2015]

I've not seen the use of MySource in the way you used it on the John Julien and Elizabeth Buter page. The Maryland Marriages database on Family Search is a Source already in the database. I'm not wanting to override your changes, but thought perhaps you were not aware of that. I am a not a highly experienced user of WeRelate, so if I am wrong, please feel free to say so.--RWMeyer 00:14, 29 September 2015 (UTC)


I just found this reference to churches as a location in the help section. Will try it.

This conversation seems to imply that hospitals as places are discouraged. Is this true? The reason I ask is that death locations are sometimes specifically indicated as being in Hosptial X. My interpretation of current consensus would be to indicate the place as the most specific administrative unit then provide the Hospital name in the description. Is this the current best practice? Thanks. --ceyockey 07:06, 18 July 2011 (EDT)

That is correct. Information such as hospitals, churches, or physical addresses should be placed in the description field. Place pages may be created for towns, counties and other municipalities, as well as cemeteries. --Jennifer (JBS66) 07:25, 18 July 2011 (EDT)--RWMeyer 00:25, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
