I just put in the detail of the source, 'only had date' or 'only had place' or 'had month/year and state/country'; if it is a 'partial', because I know that this Source will never give more data than I have already. Since I gedcom stuff to others, if they want to delete/remove stuff, that is there decision. I actually put the actual data, then a comma with the correct phrase so anyone can see, example: Sep 1916 Illinois, had month/year and state. Rich in LA CA
