Thank you, Jenny. I have a lot of entries to correct. I should have
asked this question sooner!

wrong) that you would put in the “item of interest” field the same
language, regardless of whether it was to source John’s birth, his
death, or his mother’s name, and that language would be “entry for
John
Reeves’s 1954 death.” I had been entering such language for his
death
field, but for his birth field, I had been entering “entry for John
Reeves’s 1878 birth.”
If the database concerned is a DEATH record - in this particular case,
Texas Death Index - then every "item" (ie record) in the database is a
Death Record, a Death Record which also includes other information.
Therefore, I contend the correct wording for the use of this Source
against John's Birth, Mother's Name, etc should always be "entry for
John Reeves' 1954 Death."
