Have you tried the Compiler info screen which applies to the whole database: Options>Edit Compiler there is a Comments section that you could use to enter that info and a check box if you want it to show or not.

I've wanted it for some time but haven't been able to find it anywhere. Ron Taylor On Saturday, March 29, 2014 9:08 AM, Kathy Meyer <[email protected]> wrote: This would be very helpful. Is this a suggestion for the future? Or does this already exist in legacy?

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. Ron Taylor -- Russell G. Strong P. S.
