Not at all Eric, at least I don't.
At the most I source the vital records twice; for a name it may be any two
of eg, a birth index, birth certificate, marriage index, marriage
certificate, census.
Usually other times when one finds a name it is in conjunction with an
Event, such as Occupation, Emigration etc. in which case I use the source to
Source the Event and not the name.
I apply the same way of working to all records. I do prioritise according to
reliability, and also use my assessment of the Surety Level.

Subject: [LegacyUG] What to cite?
Hello everyone-
I have a couple questions if you don't mind:
1)-What are your opinions on what information to cite? I have some
individuals in my family who appear in many records; for example, one of my
6th great-grandfathers appears no less than 17 times in church records. Is
it appropriate for me to create citations for all 17 times his name appeared
in the records?
2)-For more recent ancestors, their names may appear dozens of times in
various records. Do I cite only the most reliable (vital, church records)
ones or cite other obscure ones as well that give the same information?
This is something that I have been thinking about for a long time and just
need some opinions on it.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Eric
