Elaine, If you sourced you stuff, I'd throw away the sources. For example, if I said my Manuel Mello was on the 1940 census in New Bedford, Bristol Co, MA, I'd pitch the hard copy of the census. That's plenty of clues for someone to find him again. Likewise about his baptism. If I put he was born on 1 Jan 1887 in Ribeira das Tainhas, Sao Miguel island, Azores and my source was his baptism, that's enough for someone to duplicate your work and find it again. Or at least that's my opinion.
