Is it part of the taxonomy that under the headings the subheadings are alphabetical? It seems unusual to have a births, marriages, deaths heading and then to have cemeteries as the first resource. Would it be better to arrange the subheadings in order of research importance? lwm

Public Records include City Ordinances, public official lists, city council rdinances, minutes &amp; proceedings and of that ilk. Does this really belong to Institutions as in prisions or asylums? Dsammy 03:55, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

"Histories" imply written or oral histories more strongly than published history books. I find "Histories" repulsive and very misleading. Biography and history under that heading - what about "Blue Books" which are not biography per se to begin with. Dsammy 03:57, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Obituaries belong under newspapers. Dsammy 03:57, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Church Records will not work under BMD for most reasons - membership lists, church officials, session minutes - all don't mention dates or whatever. Dsammy 04:19, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Funeral Records - stand alone - having seen these records in person in various mortunaries - nowhere close to BMD in most cases. Just costs of funeral and occasional an obituary, maybe dates and places, that's it. Dsammy 04:19, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Bloated paragraphs are biggest problem. Dsammy 04:19, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Several headings have longer headings. Other taxonomies didn't have this many as this particular one does. Dsammy 04:19, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Medical Records are stand alone. They include doctor's records, health center for Baguio City, The medical register [1779, 1847], now do they look like INSTITUTION?? Even Schools! What about Yearbooks (no way I want my yearbooks listed under Institution! How about "Kentucky medical history, WPA research project records, 1801-1940" What about "Miscellaneous records relating to Kansas forts" ? Dsammy 04:19, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Newspapers and Periodicals usually do not go together since Periodicals often are found with Societies and Churches than any other. Dsammy 04:20, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
