Documentation of place of events using familysearch documents
As I am working on my part of the tree of my ancestors in Switzerland I have found many sources to attach. Which is great as some have none or records by writing to Switzerland years ago.
But I am finding in the marriages and birth/christening/baptism records I have found multiple localities for one event. All have the same date. I attach them as they all have the right people and dates.
Of course I can not find the examples. But will come back when I do.

Such a case starts with the question on https://community.familysearch.org/de/discussion/126834/zbinden-family ... and I try to explain it on https://community.familysearch.org/de/discussion/comment/458869/#Comment_458869.
Clear? If not, don't hesitate to ask.
A general comment on record references I frequently see in familysearch data:
"Schweiz, Katholische und Reformiert Kirchenbücher, 1418-1996"
I'm not sure if this is possibly a default entry - but it is absolutely useless 😡! It tells the reader, the source is in a church record from any (common) denomination, anywhere in Switzerland - and within a time frame of almost 600 years. A meaningful example would e.g. be the one on https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/sources/L2GP-23B.

My grandfather and his mother were both born illegitimately in Bern Canton (1877 and 1852). There is a person in Switzerland that changes my grandfathers lineage in FamilySearch and I have to correct it about 2-3 times each year. My work now is to document the sources for all of my Swiss ancestors. I feel this is very important. Keep up the good work!
