Re: [LegacyUG] Independent sourcing: was: Separating date sources from place sources suggestion

I don't think proper sourcing is ugly, it shows you have done proper work. 
It's allso a topic about detailed sourcing, using the "Show list" feature 
that has been discussed on this list more than once.

I believ that for the basic informations, names and birth/death 
informatioan every part should be sources individually, even if I get many 
footnotes.

I can understand your frustration, I share it, but I'm wondering how you
want this foot-noted:
17(1) Jan (2) 1876 (3) etc

Could get pretty ugly.

Yes, it's that same problem. Taking it further, one could argue that
different parts of the date should be independently sourced too. For
example, one source gives the complete date (17 Jan 1850) and another
source gives only the year (1850). You cannot legitimately apply the
second
source to the full date. Since I cannot think of any good way to show
independently sourced parts of dates on reports, I would not suggest 
going
*that* far.
