Such functionality would be great.


Until then … To-Do Items are file specific and could be used (in a pinch) for 
that purpose …

Subject: [LegacyUG] Family File Information Notes



I thought there was a place to record general information about a database.  
The logical place would be a notes field in Family File Information.  Somewhere 
that a "preface" to the database might be recorded including any rules or 
special conditions which relate to the entire database.  Example of possible 
general information...



1) This database was originally a combination of records from Joseph Winget, 
Julia Seagrave, and Lawrence Regan as of 21 Aug 2004.

2) Spouses who married more than once have marriage source "Duplicate Marriage 
in database".

3) Members of the Winget Family Association have source "WFA Member".

4) Dates like "Cal 1905" are calculated from evidence versus "Abt 1905" which 
are estimated.

5) LDS Blessings are entered as event "LDS Blessing" and not entered in the 
christening fields.

6) All group sheets connected to the direct line should be complete including 
parents of husband and wife, all children, and spouses of children.



There could be more that the compiler wants to document about the database.  A 
generic source record might be created but it would have to be linked to some 
individual to avoid it being purged as an unused source.
