Gary,
Your comments are extremely valid regarding sources. When I have a source
like this (a family group record or something similar), I document just the
family group record. In the comments of the source detail, I list other
sources the person may have cited. But they will not become an actual
source of mine until I personally consult the documents.
Also see source examples in Legacy at
