One caution though.... if you sort everything by an individual's name
you will inevitably run into the case where the source is referring to
2 or more people. Are you going to have the source twice under each
person's name or somehow remember that one source is for multiple people.
This, I think, is one of the major arguments against including
individual's names in Source Names - other, perhaps, than correspondence
with a particular person. So many Source documents will be relevant to
several people: Censuses usually encompass a whole family, a Birth
Certificate relates to a child and his parent(s),. a Marriage
Certificate relates to 2 people and their fathers (maybe more in
non-English ones) and so on.
My Sources are filed strictly according to type, not according to the
person(s) to whom they relate. Each has a reference no which is
recorded on the Source Details tab and every Individual referred to in
that Source is labelled (on the Source) with their UserID. This makes
it very easy to refer backwards and forwards between my Source Documents
and the people in my Family File.
