Barton,
When I said you wouldn't change the source details every time you attach
that source, by "source" I was meaning the particular record concerning
the birth of John Reeves.
If you find some other record in that same database, of course you
change the source details. You're referring to another "item".

Thanks, Jenny, but the question was specifically would you change the
"item of interest" field to "entry for John Reeves's 1878 birth" in
the birth field and "entry for John Reeves's 1954 death" in the death
field? Cathy said "it's for the item of interest in the database" and
you "would not change the source details every time you attach the
source to a piece of information." I don't understand her distinction.

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?
Yes, if citing a Death Register (or Index thereof) entry I would use
"entry for John Reeves' death, 1954" and attach the same
Source/Citation to all relevant fields - name, date of birth, date of
death, names of parents ... whatever is included in the database entry.
