I use the Notes: General for miscellaneous items, thoughts and ideas, Research for sources and details of options where there are two or more possible matches and Medical for cause of death, health issues where known and such like. Negative proof gets noted as "No evidence found to date (date)", "No proof", "Unproven", "Doubtful connection" etc, depending partly on what the situation regarding that person and partly how I feel at the time. Where you have the option for the gender of the entry, I also use the "?" to denote I'm not convinced/ have serious doubts the person in question actually belongs to the parents as well as for names that are unisex and I haven't a clue whether the child is male or female. Anything really important that I need to be aware of when editing a person also goes in the Events/Facts.
