The only thing I will share is that I prefer to use Event/Facts as
opposed to General Notes. I like the fact that I can create many
Event/Facts and source each individually. I do not, as

Back in the day when I used PAF, I recorded all of the facts sources in

Jenny,
I believe you are thinking of Basic to SR. This was to convert SR back
to basic. I don't think anything is lost going this way, just
condensed.

What is an event. Sometime that occurs at a specific time and place to certain

Another way of dealing with this is to enter a Residence, an Occupation (for

The downside is that you now have many Events/Facts for the individual.
