I personally do not do that but anyone who intends to apply to one of
the associations like Daughters or Sons of the American Revolution
which require proof of your descent from a revolutionary war
participant needs to assign sources to those fields because those
societies are very interested in what documents were used to confirm
the descent.

Diane,
I see your point now - add it to all 3 name fields (the child and
both
parents). I would absolutely do that if it were the only or one of
the
only sources for the relationship, and I understand the reason for
doing
it regardless. Here is my dilemma: I have transcribed the sketch
which
is about 4 paragraphs, and I am reluctant to add the source without
the
transcript, and I am also reluctant to add the source for every
relationship named (the many siblings and aunts and uncles of the
sketch's subject). So I have to decide how to err - on the side of
leaving out a good (but not the only) source for the relationships or
having a lot of information duplicated and taking up a lot of printed
space in reports, etc.

It is probably an unnecessary step to add the source to the father
relationship and mother relationship fields, but it is something I do
routinely.

hi Diane, thanks for your reply. By adding the book as a source in
the
name field, I assume that's what I would be doing (using the book as
a
source for those relationships).

You could also use the book as a source for child/parent
relationships.
