I don't think you've solved the problem of needing to record what was
actually found in the source by splitting the event into date and
place for sourcing.
Also if your source

Keith, I would love to be able to source the date and place separately; they
do not always come
What I do is, for each fact I use a Source and in the
Source detail I put a 'transcription' of the 'part' of
the date/place found there. Example: a tombstone may
have only years, and initials instead of full name. So
each of the two or three sources can show what it
has/doesn't have.

How do others handle the situation where you have one piece of info from one
source and one from another that combine into one field. I'm not explaining
this well so let me give an example.
I have a death date from source #1.
I have a death location from source #2.
If I allocate a source to

This has long been a niggle with Legacy. I add a Death Note
explaining the Sourcing for each field..
I wouldn't use Alt.Death for (e.g.) location because
(1) This location, although sourced, doesn't show on the Family screen
(2) The default sentence He/She has conflicting birth information of

Keith,
My approach is to include all sources pertinent to that event.
Collectively they document the date, place, notes, etc.
If you wish, you can include comments in the source detail such as this
documents the date but not the location, this only documents who was
present, etc.
Hi Keith,
I just add all sources for whatever bit of the death information
and specify in the Source Detail or Source Detail text which bit that
source covers.
For example: to support many of my English dates I include the GRO
index reference. This only gives the year and quarter and
bit came from which attached/listed source.

I put them in the one area - and in the source text I put in the info I got
from that source. I realize that if I don't have it print the source text,
it isn't clear what info I got where.I have to admit that I'd prefer the
date/place to be seperately sourced at times mainly for the

If I understand the question, I run into this all the time. This is what
I use Source Detail Text for. Both sources are true for the one event
but in SDT I put what information came from each source so it's clear.

I do what JL does.
There is no need to create another event or an alt. event. Any event
is likely to have multiple sources and they don't always say the same
thing. That is why you use notes to explain them, and/or assign them a
surety level.
