Marie, The choice is yours and should be based upon how, and where you wish to see the output.
To-date, I have used Obits as a source for the names of people who were present at a funeral and relationship to the deceased, if given. However, having read Geoff’s, description of the scope of Shared Events (I would give you the URL but for reasons best known to the management they no longer show it in the Legacy browser) that option looks like it might prove very attractive. To answer your question then, I would wait :-) Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ From: M Sandvig Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 9:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Obits I need advice on sourcing an obit. It is a regular obituary from a newspaper. Do you recommend using Sourcewriter / newspaper? Or should I create an 'Event' Obituaries? I am struggling with this as I know it will make a difference in Reports. My ultimate goal is to have the obituary print out with the individuals' information in a book style report.
