Mike, Your Book of Marriages seems similar to the English Parish Registers (Marriages). There are really three ways of doing things, leave the entry in the Source, as you are doing, or enter it into the Location or Address Fields. I prefer the Location Field, in which case I have no need to name the Church in the Source, but it is very much a personal choice. Like many things in Legacy there is no right or wrong way.
