Geoff, It is expected that you would have already given the description for the original person in the Event details for example in a Census Event (although I don't use them) one might expect it to be "head of household" - at least in England.

Why is no role setting available for the original person in a shared event, surely they too have a role in the event? The event specified may not be a vital event, but a census or other 'general' event and therefore they would have a role.

He has the five SOURCES for the one shared birth event. These are the five sources from Asa's assigned sources list for Asa's birth.
