What I do is, for each fact I use a Source and in the
Source detail I put a 'transcription' of the 'part' of
the date/place found there. Example: a tombstone may
have only years, and initials instead of full name. So
each of the two or three sources can show what it
has/doesn't have.

and would you then split the date into year, month and day?
and location into country, state/county, town ... ?
I don't think you've solved the problem of needing to record what was
actually found in the source by splitting the event into date and
place for sourcing.
Also if your source includes
I do what JL does.
There is no need to create another event or an alt. event. Any event
is likely to have multiple sources and they don't always say the same
thing. That is why you use notes to explain them, and/or assign them a
surety level.

If I understand the question, I run into this all the time. This is what
I use Source Detail Text for. Both sources are true for the one event
but in SDT I put what information came from each source so it's clear.

I put them in the one area - and in the source text I put in the info I got
from that source. I realize that if I don't have it print the source text,
it isn't clear what info I got where.I have to admit that I'd prefer the

This is exactly why I *quote* actual source text in the Source Detail Text
box when creating a citation. In the situation you mention, I would cite
both sources and the detail text would tell me what each contained.
Unfortunately adding a source to either the date or location will cause bo
Keith, I would love to be able to source the date and place separately; they

Hi Keith,
I just add all sources for whatever "bit" of the death information
and specify in the Source Detail or Source Detail text which bit that
source covers.
For example: to support many of my English dates I include the GRO

Keith,
My approach is to include all sources pertinent to that event.
Collectively they document the date, place, notes, etc.
If you wish, you can include comments in the source detail such as "this
documents the date but not the location", "this only documents who was
present", etc
This has long been a niggle with Legacy. I add a Death Note
explaining the Sourcing for each field..
I wouldn't use "Alt.Death" for (e.g.) location because
(1) This location, although sourced, doesn't show on the Family screen
(2) The default sentence "He/She has conflicting birth information of

Keith,
I'm afraid that it is something which you have to live with, as it is not
possible to separate out the various parts of the Event.
You could, as you say, create an alternative Event but it doesn't make sense to
me to have the date in one Event and the place in another. In general I atta
