I do much the same thing—using Research Notes for notations about unproven facts, i.e. an unsourced tree online that says someone in my database was the child of ___ or was born on ___. I also use Research Notes to record my reasoning for an assumption such as a woman’s date of death (because she wasn’t mentioned in the husband’s will). For me, Research Notes are a temporary “holding area” for unsourced data or things that I don’t care to format into a “To Do.”

Anything I find that has a source I would usually create an Event/Fact for and source that Fact/Event. I hope others will chime in with their thoughts/practices.

I'm still really shaky on how the whole research notes thing is used. When I put things into it, I end up with page after page of "disconnected" information. A paragraph here and another there. I want to source each, but haven't figured out how to source each one separately. I realize that I have opened a can of worms, but without them one may not catch the "trophy" fish. I hope I have worded this so you see what I am trying to ask.
