When you "attach" a given source to name, birth info, death info, burial info, ... it is not "copied" to each of those entries, but only "linked" as you requested. Thus only a extra "pointer" to the source is stored, not all the source info. This is one of the advantages of having a full relational database structure behind the Legacy program, unlike earlier programs.
