Arranging sources in FS
There can be many sources attached to a person, and finding the one you need when checking an event can take time. The title, "Vermont Town Records" is vague.
Attaching a source to the death could mean the source simply says another person is the widow(er) of Firstname Lastname, or it could be a thorough death record or obituary for Firstname Lastname.
It would be a big help if the sources page could be laid out like a stamp album, with spaces to attach civil record(s) of birth, christening record(s), and so on, and the idea is to make it easy to confirm the date and place of birth, and to see what records are wanting.

Sometimes I get very aggravated at exactly what you are talking about and I will go edit all the obscure source titles to add critical information or add a date if it is missing. You can do that, you know. You can sometimes edit the tags to check more of them, and I will do that in a heartbeat. That will make more sources show up in the list of birth, death, etc. Some sources do not seem to have the option to edit tags, and I don't know what the criteria is.
Of course I myself have never been guilty of creating a source with inadequate information. <rolling eyes>
