Ron, In the Legacy Tables there is a separate source detail entry each time a detail is linked to a person or event for a person, albeit in your case the details are identical there are multiple entries in the source details table like this:
Person 1 Event 1 (Link to Master Source) Registration District Details and the Date person 1 Event 2 (Link to Master Source) Registration District Details and the Date Person 2 Event 1 (Link to Master Source) Registration District Details and the Date etc. for each time you link the source detail. As you can see the contents of the Registration District Details and the Date are repeated multiple times. If you discover later that there was a typo error in the information when you entered the data you have to visit each person/event combination and correct the typo for each entry.
