I set mine with two Rows, on Row 1 I have the default grid fields of

On Row two I have the research notes set to a column width of 7.49 inches.

How do people record research for a specific fact in Legacy? For example
conflicting information about a date/place of birth? I am not keen on Geoff's
alternate birth method. I would prefer something like the notes area for a
fact being tabbed general and research. This could be used to record
unrelated.
