I guess we all have our own particular ways of entering sources depending on our needs. I'm a lumper who uses the basic source system rather than SourceWriter, so I'm unsure if that makes a difference, but I have one source called 1870 U.S. Census and countless records using that source. They will contain source details such as State A, County B, Township C or town/village (if I know it), film #, page #, household #, etc. I do the same with 1871 etc. British or Cdn censuses - tie to the major source rather than trying to manually track them as sub- or sub-sub-sources. My source list is long enough as it is. That's what I thought source details were for.
If I want to search for records for Census X, State A or County B, etc., I will do a Detailed Search for Source-Master Source = X and Source-Citation contains A or B. That usually gives me a list of the records I'm looking for. So, I am comfortable without highlighted source names in Legacy. Then again, our logic patterns will all be quite different.
