Hi Jeremy You could have one Source called 'Find my Past etc' and just add a Citation as required for the unique marriage Fact. Then you can add the Image/pdf to the Citation via the Individual Records screen. I have only 50 Source records but about 25,000 Citations in a file with 5000 Individuals and 1300 marriages. So, no, it is not excessive - I Cite everything!

Now I am finding that I can get the actual detail of the marriage as a .pdf which I could attach to the citation. However, I would need each citation to be a separate entry in order to attach an image to it. My question is that would mean about 3000 individual entries in my case. Is this normal/average? or excessive?

I agree with David, The Source is where I got the information from, doesn't matter what I did with it or where it is or how it's stored. The Citation would give much more detail. I haven't attached any digital images as yet, so I have that process yet to come. Perhaps I think this way because I started off with much more basic software? In any event, it works for me & is easy to keep the sources in some sort of consistent order.

David, on a point of detail, since we are discussing a Marriage fact, which is a Family fact, the Citation is in the Family record. This can be reached via the All tab of the Individual Property Box, but only after opening the 'Spouse family' link to the Family record, and then the Marriage fact Citation.
