How about the Comments field in the Compiler Information (Options ribbon)? Generic sources could be added to the Unspecified field of every person in the Family File that it's applicable to. This source wouldn't be included in reports or web pages, but you would see it.
Or you could add that source to the comments as well Note in v8, that options are available to include or not the information beyond date, name and address.
