Because I didn't read the preface or truly study one of the sources I used, I did not realize that the entries incorporated a code for the bibliography citations. As a result, I didn't photocopy the introductory pages that decoded the citations.

Since the above information was pulled from other sources, I need to find those sources. This is where that photocopy of the 'code' would have come in handy!
McCammon
AL
Old Friendship Cem Record
GCMO Census
Goble
GCMO likely stands for Gentry County Missouri census records, which I've already used. I was able to use Google to figure out that McCammon was a reference to the History of Davies County (Missouri) which I was able to find on Archives.org. I'm guessing that AL might refer to a periodical or journal since the note includes a month and year. Unfortunately, I don't know what periodical or journal. And the 'Goble' citation is a complete mystery.
Since I was able to figure out the McCammon citations, I was able to locate the information in that source.

This isn't the first time I've forgotten to copy key information from a source. Hopefully, I've learned my lesson.
Back to my days as History student, I learned to photocopy both the title page and the title page verso...so much valuable information! I had to get a lot of books on ILL for my Master's Thesis and that way I had everything I needed for my citations/bibliography.
ReplyDeleteGreat advice for those doing genealogical research too :)
