Hi Martha, I have found it most helpful to use one event per source. If I have 2 sources that support a single event (i.e. birthdate) then I have to attach 2 sources to the event. I have to enter 2 transcripts of the data in the Event Notes. When I go back to that event, there is no way for me to determine which source goes to which transcript.
The only people who are interested in reading the details in the event/event notes are researchers. Researchers are also the only people who are interested in which sources the information is related to. If I have trouble keeping my own data/sources straight, there is little chance someone else would be able to know which source goes with which transcript. I am interested to hear what other people have found works for them. - Evelyn On Fri, Jul 8, 2016 at 11:32 AM, Martha Graham <[email protected]> wrote: > Good Morning, > In thinking about what has been mentioned, I realized that you are all > right, the notes 'hang' in limbo - not good. > But, if I have two types of information for a death, for example, do I > lump them together or create two events? > Sample: > Death Record from Vital Records > Death Certificate - Digital Copy [shows the usual, cause of death, > informants, etc.] > > I have collected a huge amount of D/C's and now that I have time, am going > through them and adding cause of death, etc. > I was using the Medical Notes section for this process, but as pointed > out, they do not fit in chronological order. > > There are almost always at least 3 dates on a D/C - and sometimes many > more : > Date of Death > Date [found] > Date when last seen by a medical person > Date when signed off by Coroner or MD > Date when Certificate is Filed > > So if I create an event for both the items where the death info is found, > then what date get's used for the info on the D/C?
