Personally I wouldn't consider the Strong Family Association to be the
source, but rather to be the repository from which you obtained new
sources. The actual source(s) would the data that they cite on the website

The Asscociation is a secondary source and the confidence should be recorded as
such.
BTW it is far from boneheaded to not accept HTML on a users site:

In the case of a long email exchange you could create one source for the entire

I agree with Jennifer. I would use the Generic Website template for this. The

I just put both numbers there. 0001, 5103 for instance. It would
actually make more sense to put them into the Marriage Info User ID, now
that you mention it, and they can be displayed on the Family View using
the field called SpMRIN. Although, why anybody would want to, I don't
know.
Which now begs the question: If you use Clear all User ID's under
Customize/Other does this include both the Indv Info User ID's and the
Marriage Info User ID's or just the Indv Info ones?
