To reduce the size of the source list for imaged church books, I am using a source list entry that reflects the containing collection, rather than the church/organization. Usually, the collection name does not reflect the church name. So, there is no implicit relationship between the first reference note and the relevant source list entry.
So; I have a question about how to address this...
In the example below; should one insert, "Canada, Ontario Roman Catholic Church Records, 1760-1923", just prior to, FamilySearch? Doing so seems to make sense. It ensures that the relevant collection is evident in the first reference note and also establishes a "linkage" between the first reference note and the relevant source list entry.

History-Hunter, your approach seems to work well. EE would omit the "citing" layer in the First Reference Note because it adds nothing more than what your Layer 1 reports.

Thank you for such a speedy response! After so many hundreds of citations, things seem to be starting to make sense.

I note that I did make one error. The collection type is "Browsable images" and not "Database with images".

H-H, EE would not consider that an error. Whether images are "browsable" or not, they are presented within a "database with images." The opposite term for "browsable images" would be "indexed images," but for a citation to specify whether a database is indexed or browsable would be comparable to stating whether a book had an index or must be searched page by page, no?
