Sources are important, multiple and can be shared. They are often shared between events. Otherwise, we may group them under a repository (archive, library, folder, etc ...)
GRAMPS gives us a lot of freedom for classification. This is not necessarily an advantage. How then should you go about adding sources and using the power of GRAMPS ?

An Example
The data
A death certificate on 1809-05-13, stored at Country Archives of New-York, with call-number : 6Mi5202, for Miss X who died on previous day.
One possibility for the entries
- event field : Death - 1809-05-12 - New-York, NY, USA
- we add a source : Death certificate of X (died on 1809-05-12)
- related to a repository : Country Archives of New-York - call number: 6Mi5202
- we check the entries
- we may add date (1809-05-13), volume, page and source trustworthiness. This information will be only available between the event (Death of Miss X) and this source. They will be used on Detailed reports as EndNotes.
