I did that for a long while; the source title was "1920 - WV - Tucker - St George". Then the 1940 US Census became available. After I entered my 150th source title for the 1940, I bagged the notion. Life's too short to spend more than a couple seconds scrolling through source titles. My census source TITLES are spare these days -- as in 1940 - WV; in the detail box I add Tucker Co. Then I went back and edited the other titles. Inexact? Sure is. But then again, if my reader cares, the full citation is in the notes. Mostly, my readers /don't/ care where I found something; mostly they barely care that I did find it. :,(
