I agree Bill. I just learned about these designations in an online class and see that it would be helpful. Though you would need more options. An Original Source may have both Primary and Secondary information. A death certificate for example. Legacy would have to have multiple choices on a drop down or check box menu to cover those.

A thought would be to be to indicate Original or Derivative on the Source Window and Primary or Secondary on the detail window. This would allow you to enter the death certificate once as an original or derivative source, but indicate if the information used from it was Primary or Secondary on detail window.

Talking about the surety level of a source: I would like another column to indicate whether the source came from a primary, secondary, original or derivative. with the added column and the surety level you can have pin point accuracy for your source.
