Paula, That is a perfectly valid way to use the Notes, and is fine provided that one would never wish to publish them, which in your case seems to be the situation. For me it does not work because I use the General Note and Research Notes for items which I do wish to publish, and since one cannot conveniently mark them individually as not for publication they are not suitable. Yes, I do know of Privacy Brackets, but I would be bound to forget to add them sometimes!

James, I always enter the people. I haven't really gotten into using the To-Dos, and I started with Legacy a long time ago (before To-Dos?), so I generally write up the "hypothesis" in the Research Notes, citing the source there. Perhaps too simplistic, but I only get to work on this hobby in infrequent spurts, so I find having the person IN THERE with why he/she is there and what's left to prove helps the next time I pick it up. --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Harbaugh Hopkins Hughes Jones Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sullivan Williams ----- Original Message ---- From: James Cook <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, March 5, 2011 8:45:50 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] How to manage the uncertain hint/tips/leads? (an aside to my Knight in shining armor thread) I am trying to determine the best way to utilize Legacy (if at all) in the uncertain situations - such as a family history claiming Knighthood in the ancestry. <snip> 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
