You have all given me some great ideas on how to handle this. I'm going to play around with your suggestions and see which will work the best for me. I do use the to-do list and research notes quite a bit and for the majority of the tasks this works well for me, but in this particular instance, these unknown's seem to fall in the cracks. Maybe it's the way I use these features. My research time is so limited, sometimes I just need that information to be right where I can see it, or 'slap me in the face', when I look at a family. Again my hats off to all of you on your skills and expert knowledge.
Thank you!

For example, 1) an obituary lists 10 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren as survivors, but does not list names. Or, 2) it lists the names of these grandchildren, but it's not obvious as to who their parents are. So far I've just put this information in my notes section referencing my source and adding that to my to-do list but this is not working for me. I want to keep as much information in Legacy as possible so I'm thinking about creating an event called Grandchildren, Survivors or something similar, and listing those named. If I enter these as an event, I can attach certain research files, etc., to that particular event, and notes in the note section not to mention searching for these entries would be easier using events at least for me at the moment. I'm by no means a professional, just an intermediate family researcher, so before I start this, would like to know what other options are out there. Thank you for any help you have. I learn so much from this group!
