I'm glad this question came up, was wondering myself.
I am a lumper, the way I record a record of anything, say a census is
I create a census event and in the event notes,
I transcribe the details of the family and individual that's found on
the page.
In the master source, I enter the details of where I found it and where
other can find it also,
mostly the details of Ancestry.com, Family Search and the location the
Nation Archives.
In the source details, I enter the year, persons name, roll number,
enumeration district, address
and line number where the family/person is found, then attach an image
of the page.
I do things this way so the individual and family data is in a note,
to be able to see when I open a person to read the event, I have the
facts right there.
To me, the source is how to find the document again.
Also, in reports, I generally dont add sources, the data prints out as a
note for a person
for all to easily see.
