You could either use General Notes or you could create an Event (possibly more than one, depending on the nature of the information you have). Either way, I would add the basic details to either field but then include a transcript of the e-mail in the Text field of Source Detail. You can select to include this on Reports if you wish. This is how I handle Wills. -- 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
