Notes is treated as one field so if you enter several separate paragraphs of information and several separate Sources, in a Report your Notes will appear as if they were one "event" with several Sources. For example, my Notes might read "Jane was first married to Joe Bloggs who died in 1898." My Sources will be a record of the marriage and a record of the death. That's fine. But suppose I then add more notes: "Jane fell down the stairs on her 40th birthday. // He niece described Jane as a "very loving but strict auntie.//Jane often reminisced about visiting an orphanage." The Source for fall might be an interview with her daughter, the Source for her being loving might be a letter from the niece and the reminiscence of the orphanage might be my own remembrance, so 5 separate sources in all but not all applying to all contents of Notes. So I would add something lie [FreeBMD] after the first entry, [Mary Jones] after the next and so on. That way, someone who looks at my file can see exactly which Source matches which individual Note. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
