I'm new to the world of genealogy research, and I found out about Evidence Explained through Family Tree Maker. Since I wanted to do all of this right the first time I picked up a copy of Evidence Explained so my citations would be to a set standard.
One question I have is about the use of the word "stamped" when citing census records. What exactly does this mean? For example, on the 1880 census that I cite, the word "Page" is stamped, but the page number itself is handwritten. Should I have "stamped" or "handwritten" after the page?
