Hi Marla, I ask myself which is most important, the note, or the source. You can create a new event for each paragraph and ‘source’ that so now your paragraph has a heading and a source will show up in your Master list. I would find that very disjointed if those paragraphs were material for ongoing research.
I prefer to put most of those paragraphs/notes in my Research notes and add a line, or two, to explain where that note came from, which could include a web address – thereby providing me with the ‘source’. All my notes are in one place which makes them easier to examine and compare. I can now see everything ‘visually’ as they are not disconnected. If the paragraph was there for primarily for support documentation, such as a Probate transcription, then I would have that as a separate event. Maybe I could compare this to my photos. I have all the family photos concerning the individual in the Picture Gallery for them. They are all together in one place. I don't create a separate event for each photo and source them separately. I do source my photos - sometimes by notes in the description field, with others I will 'write on the back of the photo' by using IrfanView to give details and the source - or do both. A 'Document.jpg' is another matter, that is, a birth certificate would be under 'Birth Pictures', and so on.

That was what I thought. Seems like it's not where I need to be putting my notes. I think I will stay with my individuals' information -events/facts section so I can see everything (visually) Marli ________________________________________ From: Brian/Support <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, November 6, 2011 2:21:35 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Individual Events vs Marriage Events It is not possible, in Legacy, to source parts of Notes. The sources are linked to the entire notes not to individual paragraphs within the notes.
