As another way to avoid one-use sources, I have assembled Family Group Sheets into a document, actually a loose-leaf binder, to which I add each new FGS and number it sequentially by family name. (That is, in my book, DENE-001, DENE-002, KOHN-001, KOHN-002. Which leaves an ability to know pretty quickly where information is and an ability to add quite a number of new group sheets.) Then I use the page name-number as the "detail" in the source screen. I have done similar compilations of e-mails, photocopied pages of family bibles, and the mish-mash of notes made during a two-week research trip. It works pretty well for me.
