You don't source Names?
How do you know where you found the name or the name variants?
Yes if it only has the name, then you add the source to the name.
If it had name and birth date, I'd add it to both name and birth date.
The only exceptions for me is if I have a number of better sources for
the Name already.

As a little diversion to all the questions about Legacy 9, I found a
biographical sketch of my ancestor’s brother in a Texas history book
published in 1893. It contains a trove of information about my
ancestor’s family and that of his parents, presumably from the subject
who was 44 years old at the time. The names of his siblings and aunts
and uncles and all their spouses are included. As a source for these
names, I’m wondering where to best enter them; I usually put census
entries into the birth field, since date and place of birth are always
identified (usually). Since date and place are not included in the
sketch, should the source be added to the person’s name? I usually
don’t input sources into the name field but this seems to make the
best sense. Any thought would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Barton
