Research Infrastructure

Citation & Source Network

A human-readable and machine-readable trail from published book sections to endnotes, works cited, source-register entries, and preserved documentary records.

Evidence discipline. A link in this network does not automatically mean that every source proves every proposition. Direct evidence, published citation, source-register inclusion, corroboration, and contextual research are intentionally distinguished.

A Poston Family of South Carolina — numbered endnotes

The revised 2025 genealogy contains 35 explicit endnotes. Chapter markers now link directly to stable note anchors, preserving the published text while making the evidence trail navigable.

Open linked endnotes

Rooted in the Pee Dee — works cited

Numbered references in the web edition now link to the corresponding item in a normalized 39-source works-cited index, with source URLs exposed as clickable links.

Open linked works cited

Poston Family History — source register

The 70-item manuscript source register now has stable source anchors. High-confidence chapters link to the specific source-register entries and, where available, to preserved Archive records.

Open source register

Documentary archive backlinks

The Poston Family Archive now exposes the reverse trail: key primary and corroborating records show where they are cited or used in the published web editions.

Open Archive citation network

Machine-readable citation graph

The JSON graph exposes chapter-to-source edges for retrieval systems, audits, and future tooling. It is a supplement to—not a replacement for—the human-readable evidence notes.
