Not talking sources here. I've not been consistent, and am working on doing some cleanup of my data. For example, it's important to me to keep track at an event level of an individuals appearance on the census register. I use a census event, but a residence event would serve my purposes just as well. As long as I have an event every 10 years I can see in my time lines and such, I'm good. The census can give more information though, such as birth or alt. birth, name or alt name, occupation, veteran status, etc. Some times I've added separate facts and sourced with the census record, other times I just add notes to the census event. This is true of various sources, I'm just using census as an example here.
I'm leaning toward lumping what I'll call these secondary facts in the notes going forward with my cleanup. Before doing so, I was wondering if I'd cut myself off from some useful ways to slice, dice, chop, mesh, share, search or otherwise much with my data. Maybe I'm not seeing a downside here that I should be.
