Ed,
There is a SourceWriter template for Personal Knowledge.
If you use Basic Sources, you can enter something similar.
I include whose knowledge and how they know or think they know - ie something
that enables you to evaluate the knowledge.
eg: If my brother tells me he's a grandfather again on the day of the birth, I
can be sure of the date - unless he just says "last night" and doesn't know at
that stage whether it was before or after midnight.
But if I ask him now when one of them was born, I can't be so sure of the
information he gives me unless he looks it up as he's not good with dates.
Takes after our father - who gave us birthday presents but rarely on the day
itself.

This is something I'm struggling with. We might know things, but have
no hard proof to offer to someone else who might be working on our
line. For instance, let's say you have personal knowledge of a
person's birthday or date or cause of death (probably an immediate
family member), but you have no birth certificate or other
documentation. How would you cite the source? I have more than one
instance like this, and I could order the certificates, but I would
rather put that money toward other genealogical goodies, like Civil
War Pension records. Not only that, but ordering documentation like
that just seems like a waste of money, since I'm 100% sure of the
information.
