I guess this another place where we each choose what seems most useful according to what we intend to do with our research. Actually, I think of a birth and death as an event also, but we don't need to put them there because Legacy has the needed fields. For now I think I'll use the event field, just because it will print out the way I want. The family I share my reports with will rarely read the footnotes. The obit will be noted there, but they will be able to read it in the context of the person's life. Thanks for your response, Doug!
