I have a few records from the New Hampshire vital collection on familysearch. I was already aware that their records are on handwritten cards (I've also been to the archives in person). When creating a citation of the image of these cards should I be putting in the citation somewhere that these are handwritten since that can leave room for errors when transcribing the information? I'm assuming these are considered secondary sources?
This is my basic citation of one of these records:
“New Hampshire Birth Records, Early to 1900,” database with images, Familysearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-D1MS-W5F : accessed 25 May 2021) Robert Tyler Partington, born 2 March 1895, Springfield, son of Frederick G, and Daisy Tenney; citing Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics, Concord.
