A fine suggestion, Will, however...
To be honest, that approach is too much data for each source.
My preference is to consolidate sources associating with birth, death,
baptismal, marriage, event, etc. of an ancestor, all to that ancestor
in one source containing all the relative information. Providing
individual source for individual event is just making more data, IMO.
