Also keep in mind that _Evidence Explained_ was written for a fairly broad

Inta,
It sounds to me that you might want to look into the To Do Tasks instead of
just relying on tags. In the To Do Tasks, you can list everything you want
to research for a person and include locality and the repository (i.e., LDS
Family History Centre) where you are to search.
You can then ea

Tony, I agree and only a few days ago made the same point, adding that I
will never fill in those parts which are not included on the certificate.
In fact the GRO reference details are from the Indexes, and it is in a

I'm inclined to treat a physical piece of paper as a source in its own
right and to treat a database of related data as a single source.
Seems logical that way. So, certificates are split and indices are lumped.

I may have not explained properly.
If I have one master source for all birth certificates and want to make
a list of all people referencing just one certificate, then I don't
think your mechanism will work. Surely it will list everyone who is
referenced by any of those certificates.
But

It was very helpful for me.

Nick,
Just an observation, the Surety Rating for sources can be used in this way
provided that you consider what standard you wish to apply to each rating.
It would not be perfect, I agree, but it is the best we've got at the
moment!
