Yet if the multiples are all the same, how is that difficult? Isn't that the same as the way a Master Source is used? You have the same record with multiple citations with a Master too. Think of it like an ability to have sub-sources or secondary sources. There are the occasional singular source details where you only use them once, but there are many that are used several times. In my case, it was a copy of a Bible record that came in a packet of other source papers by a cousin. The said Bible record is all on one page and lists names with marriages, but nothing else. So the source detail isn't unique, everyone listed on that page will have the same source detail. The sad part is, doing a search for text doesn't work either. If I have written "Marriage only; not date nor place" there is no way to search for all records that have that written in the source detail. Nor is there a way to Search using a Master Source that has the source detail text either. There should be a way, don't you think?
