And I'm so glad. I have inadvertently clicked a source twice and it won't take. That would just mess everything up. Fortunately the program knows you wouldn't want to cite a source twice and really clog things.

I have tried repeating what Michele was trying to do and I too get the same
problem. It seems that you cannot add multiples of the same source even if
the details are different. This seems to be for any of the items not just
AKA.

Michele:

You could do that too, but the source citation would be a little cumbersome <G>. With so many ancestors buried in one cemetery, I would break them into
manageable groups.  I think it's no different than having several family
members documented in the census listing for a household--or would you
perhaps do separate source citations for each person in that case?  It's
just a matter of personal preference.

No because these are 4 distinct children. I attach their individual marker info to their own own individual page. They have the same parent though and
I want to attach the 4 sources to their parents in the parents AKA  I know
the parents' full names and the names recorded on their childrens' markers
are different than their full names.

This couple had 10 children with 6 dying in infancy.  All 6 had names, all
six have markers in the churchyard.  They are 6 different people.

If I were to do as you has suggested, then why wouldn't I just make one
source with everyone in that cemetery listed in the detail and then I could
just attach that one source to all 120 people in that cemetery.

Michele:

Why would you have separate source citations for each of these markers?
Wouldn't it be simpler to transcribe all five markers as a list in the
Details for a single Master Source and then attach it wherever you please?
