But what if you are using the same source (e.g. Texas Death Records) for
both John's birth and his death? If you attach it in the death field
and it says "1878 birth of John Reeves" and you are using it as a source
for his death, isn't that odd? Why would you not change it to "1954
death of John Reeves" if there are different vitals data in the record
and you are using it for different vitals?

It's for the item of interest in the database.
In your example: yyyy birth of John Reeves OR entry for John Reeve's
birth in yyyy.
You don't change the source details every time you attach that same
source to a piece of information.

Barton,
I don't see an "Item of Interest field" in death record templates. I
would think the "ID of Person" would be John Reeves as that describes
the source and would help someone else find the death cert. The DC may
be a source for other facts, like John's place of death, or
occupation, having nothing to do with the name of his mother.

*Subject:* [LegacyUG] Use of item of interest field in database sources
There’s an “item of interest” field in many Legacy SourceWriter
database sources. If I am using a record from the Texas Birth Index to
source a person’s mother’s name, it’s not clear to me what I should
fill in. Legacy provides sample language for the field: “Ex.: entry
for John Smith and Mary Jones’s 1888 marriage.” Is something like
“evidence for John Reeves’s mother’s name” appropriate? Does ESM treat
this in EE? I couldn’t find it if so.
Thanks,
Barton
