Interesting. I had thought to include such records at the church (actually synagogue) level, especially since I have a number of delayed birth records all from the same synagogue, all part of the Drouin Collection as well. Since all of my Drouin records are all from Montreal, from a variety of synagogues, your approach would still work, using Montreal as the locality, and it would certainly be easier to use a more generic locality as the master source.
