Hi Tom,
A Master Source (Obituary in Newspaper x}with particular source
detail re a particular person
Joe Bloggs, 20 Oct 1909, page x, column y
with or without the actual obituary in the Source Detail text (which
you can choose to have print with the source citation or not print
and just be there for your convenience)
can be added to as many events or people as relevant.
Provided you make no changes at all to the source detail (and the
best way to ensure this is to use the Source Clipboard), that Source
with that particular source detail will only print once in a report,
even if you've used it 20 times.
The Master Source with different source detail will print again if
you also have an obituary in the same newspaper for Mary Bloggs.
You can get a list of people who use a particular Master Source by
going to the Master Source list and highlighting the source and
clicking "Show List"
You can't (currently/easily) get a list of those who use a particular
Master Source with the same source detail since we can't search on
Source Detail.

Thanks Nancy and Ron.
With both your solutions, am I correct in assuming that the Master
Source would not identify the deceased or any other person who
record uses that source? Also, as most of my families have been
local for centuries, there have been hundreds of obituaries in the
local newspaper over the years. Wouldn't it get rather cluttered if
the date and page number of each of hundreds of obituaries were
listed in the source detail?
I do place the entire text of each obituary in the general notes
section of the deceased, making sure that I also include the date of
publication as well as the name of the newspaper.
My main concern is how to handle the situation where my source for a
piece of information about an individual other than the deceased
comes from an obituary.
Thanks,
Tom Herson
