Over the course of the last few Introduction to One-Name Studies courses I have been asked a number of questions and thought that it was worth sharing them here. Over the course of the next few weeks I will share the questions and subsequent discussion. I hope you find it interesting.

Having just completed my recent series – Strategy for a Genealogical Project we are now going to move along to a series about Sources and Citations. This series will be of use and interest to genealogists and those undertaking specific projects, such as One-Name Studies, One-Place Studies, researching buildings etc. I shall also mention about collating a repositories list, although I may well come back to that later in the year, as a regular feature, so stay tuned for that.

Here is the series line up:

1. Differences between sources and citations
2. What is a source?
   1. primary sources
   2. secondary sources
   3. what is NOT a source
3. What is a citation?
4. What is the point of recording citations?
5. References & Guidance for Citations
6. Are sources ever wrong?
7. Repository lists
8. Genealogical Proof Standard
9. Approaches to writing Citations
10. Creating your own citations and guidance for others.

Some of this is covered in the Introduction to One-Name Studies course, and some of this discussion, assumes that researchers understand the differences  & appreciates the value of sources, citations and creating a Repository list.
