Jenny - Your method appears to be pretty much what I do - a master source 'file' for the County/State birth certificates source and a detail 'file' for the individual birth certificate. Under this method, there would be two sources attached to a single person. This method appeals to me because it links where the data was obtained and preserves an 'image' of the data for visual review of where and when I obtained the information.
