I wouldn't say necessarily next to the person's name. It depends what you're using the source document for. If a birth certificate is the source for the person's name then that's what the source is for. But it would also be the source document for their birth date, the parents' names, etc. You

Yes, Grandparents had children A and B. A is parent of the male/female of the couple you mention and B is the parent of the other. I think the main reason it is frowned on is the possibility of the couple having children with genetic problems because of the close relationship of the parents.
