Assuming the citation details field is used for indicating exactly where in a source you find the information you are referring to, I'm curious to know what people put in this field for, say, a birth certificate.
For a book, you might add the page number, for example.
I've seen some people use this field for citing the file number or document number of the certificate - but surely that's where you would find the certificate (source) in the repository, NOT where you would find the information (for example the birth date) in the source.
If you were using the citation detail for the file number of a certificate, shouldn't the source be the repository, or maybe even the index?
I guess it doesn't matter too much, as long as you're internally consistent....but I'd love to know what other people do :-)
