Check the look of sources in reports *during* data entry. About 1995 (before
the public release of Legacy 2), researchers switched from collecting names
when the Internet became available to citing sources for every variation of
name, date and location.
It wasn't long before serious researchers had "too many sources" and could
not afford to print all of them in a published book. Links on some web sites
didn't work with a slow connection if there were too many sources.
Multiple sources for the same detail are usually listed in the order entered
rather than most important source first. Suppose that a birth date was
estimated as 1850 by some researchers and 1851 by others. File owner has
viewed multiple census microfilms and may have multiple sources for the same
birth date -- all estimates. -- Elizabeth

This is rather like the sourcing on the birth data that was discussed
a few weeks ago. At the end of the source description, you could place
in brackets "[Names sourced only]", just like people were advised to
write "[Birth location sourced only]" or "[Birth date sourced only]".
Granted, it means you will have a unique source because of the extra
bracketed text, but it does make it very clear what fact you are
sourcing, without Legacy allowing for each data entry box to be
sourced separately.
