Good Afternoon,
The discussion on what happens to the three 'Note' sections has
encouraged me to dig deeper into finding exactly what I have put in the
Notes and where the info should really be.
Some of the Notes fall into the 'Research' Category and I have a handle
on what to do with those.
What bothers me right now and something I would like input on is the
info I have that tells me where I got information via email lists, and
direct communication with various cousins, etc.
Back in 1999 when Mail Lists were in vogue, a lot of us shared
information via them and also personal communication. Sharing sets of
files as well as gedcoms.
But, those bits and pieces wound up in General Notes because I had no
place else to put them. The info is, obviously, scattered among my
people. So, how do I preserve the original source of email addy and date
along with a brief explanation of what was sent?
If I create a general event such as 'Electronic Source' or 'Email
Communication' or something similar, will anyone know what it is 50
years from now? What about the date when I actually got the information?
For instance:
Abraham Adsit,
DOB: 3 Mar 1850, Conneaut, Crawford, PA
DOD: 9 Nov 1936, Pennsylvania
An event for the origin of the data on him and his ancestors was shared:

Thoughts?
