I transcribe (abstract) my sources under the source citation, plus I always attach a copy of the source to the citation. Then in my event I will refer back to the source "her death certificate states" or "her obituary showed" so if there are 3 citations attached to that event I can look at those 3 citations and know which source belongs to which piece of information/citation. It is the best I can do with how Legacy allows us to attach sources. Remember that most Events will only have one source so in those situations I would simply enter the information as a fact without referring to the actual source. I only do so when there is alternate or conflicting information. Laurel
