    Best use of Sources

    While considering the Family tab of Sources sidebar, I notice how many times the same Source showed in each Person. Is Sourcing individual Events a Best Practice? Or, should I consider rolling up the Source to the Person?

    The function of a source is to answer the question, 'and how do we know that THAT is true; what's the evidence?' Ideally this question should be asked and answered for each and every factual detail. IMO it cannot sensibly be applied to an entire person.

      Thank you.
      I think General Sources is the Best Practice I was searching for, with further emphasis and detail in Field Source citations.
