Since I use 3 styles of Basic Sources (Place,Book,Other) I would call the Source "Mexico, state, county/town, land records, person, date" . In the text field I would transcribe the document. This way all the stuff in a place will sort together: taxes, census, BMD. The alphabetical sorting of "As of Mexico" will not be near Mexico, but in the A's and "Deeded 100 acres" will be lost from Mexico but in the D's sorted by size of land, instead of by place. You might want to think about what is the most important part of the Source name. I think it is the location, then what happened, then to who, then when it occured. I hope this helps. Rich in LA CA

Examples I have are: 1. "As of Mexico, deeded land in Mexico by Reuben Walton 2 June 1841." 2. "Deeded 100 acres in #7 by Proprietors 10 Aug 1835."
