Take care when creating citations for church records. In some times and places, one physical volume of church records may be broken into separate sections for various types of pastoral acts or other church records. Each section may have page numbers that start over instead of the whole physical book having one set of page numbers. Scan the entire volume to get a feel for how the material is organized before crafting a citation for a specific entry.
The 4th edition of Evidence Explained, section 8.15 contains more detail on books divided into sections that we can discuss in a short tip. Even if you don’t use Evidence Explained, please scan the entire book in which the record was obtained in order to understand it better and create a citation the works for the record.
