Elizabeth, that is exactly what I am talking about. I understand your point
but sometimes I might want to site the different page number separately (not
that I can think of when I would want to do that right now). At least you
understand my problem. Ok, regroup. I will have to do it the way you
suggest since there is no other way to do it. I just think it makes more
sense to be able to site the same source more than once with different
detail if I want to, depending on the circumstances.
In this case here is why...
I would have to make 4 different sources for the 4 children. Then I would
need to make a collective source for the parents instead of just copying
what I had to the parents. Then later down the road when I find two more
markers I have to make the two individual entries for the two new children
and then I need to go in and edit the detail for the parents FOR EACH
INSTANCE THAT I USED THAT ENTRY instead of just a simple copy.

I understand. But tell me this: if you had a book which said, on pages 10,
23, 45 and 101, that a particular fellow had a residence in Boston, would
you really want to cite that same book 4 times? No. You would cite the
source and in the detail state the information appeared on pages 10, 23,
45
and 101. This instance is really no different. Michelle has one master
source and 4 instances of where she gets the information which can all be
included in one detail. And there is no reason NOT to include them all in
one detail.
I believe what Michelle wants is a citation which reads:
Lewis Memorial United Methodist Church Cemetery (Columbia, Georgia; NW
corner of Columbia Road and Lewiston Road), Jeanine Lewis marker, George
Luther Lewis marker, Bettie Jean Lewis marker, Myrtis & Myrtle Lewis
marker,
personally read, 25 Sep 2008.
And she can do this quite easily.

The problem is that Michele does want to cite the same source but with
different detail but the program does not allow her to do this.

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?
