Re: [LegacyUG] Events, Event Notes, Regular Notes

Dick Nixon, Thanks for the input. I didn't think of the Vital notes titles printing at the end of the report when there aren't any notes entered. Yes, I will have to play with a person in the sample file to see what happens with all the reports. Like I said, I'm still thinking about this and

Re: [LegacyUG] Events, Event Notes, Regular Notes

Hi Linda.Somehow the subject of sourcing has gotten mixed in with the discussion of how Legacy formats reports with notes. You can, as you suggest, create new B,B,D, and Burial events. They will print chronologically and have the notes in the "right" place. But on some reports, haven't looked at

Thanks Laurel. I'll have to think about that a bit. -Evelyn On Sat, Jul 9, 2016 at 10:14 AM, Greg and Laurel wrote: > I transcribe (abstract) my sources under the source citation, plus I > always attach a copy of the source to the citation. Then in my event I will >

Re: [LegacyUG] Events, Event Notes, Regular Notes

I transcribe (abstract) my sources under the source citation, plus I always attach a copy of the source to the citation. Then in my event I will refer back to the source "her death certificate states" or "her obituary showed" so if there are 3 citations attached to that event I can look at

Hi Greg and Laurel, How do you know which source goes with which piece of information? - Evelyn On Sat, Jul 9, 2016 at 8:58 AM, Greg and Laurel wrote: > Linda, I am doing something similar to what you are thinking of doing. I > will have only one birth event (same for

Re: [LegacyUG] Events, Event Notes, Regular Notes

Linda, I am doing something similar to what you are thinking of doing. I will have only one birth event (same for death, mrg, baptism, etc) and I input all the information I have (whether correct or alternate) under that one event. Usually the facts that I consider correct will be at the top of

Re: [LegacyUG] Events, Event Notes, Regular Notes

The idea of having the notes for the vital events within the chronology (instead at the end of the report) has gotten me thinking about applying it to my own family. Before I do anything however, I need some other eyes and thoughts- - - what would be the problems of doing it this way down the

Re: [LegacyUG] Events, Event Notes, Regular Notes

Hi Evelyn I also enter the sources separately for each event. I enter the transcript as part of the source detail, as Geoff has suggested in his webinars. When I go back to see what sources I have for each event I am able to access the source detail and see the transcript that goes with that

Re: [LegacyUG] Events, Event Notes, Regular Notes

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

[LegacyUG] Events, Event Notes, Regular Notes

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
