"Death Notes" works best for me. It is reached by clicking on the "+" sign
at the end of the death location field on the "Individual Information"
screen. Also prints out well in reports.
Including the text in the obit source does not seem to work well, as it
separates all the good obit information from the rest of the personal data.
The name of the "nice person" sending you obits is your source! You could
add a note with details, such as her relationship to you, her address, and
that her original source is unknown.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Where to Enter Obits?
Hi LUG'ies!
Just curious--where do most of you enter the actual text of an obituary?
Should the obituary text be entered under a person's Events, cite the
Source, then in the Source Details window, do most of you enter the obit
under the Text tab?
Further, I have this nice person in my family who sends me tons of
obituaries (what a blessing!)of family members, many of whom I am
unfamiliar. It's great to get the obits, but she doesn't include any of
the source infomation: eg. newspaper name, published date, page, column.
How would you enter this obituary information? Create an "Unknown" source,
or create an "Obituary-on-File" source, then enter the obit in the Source
Details window?
Just wanna know what most of you do in these situations.
Thanks for the input!
Richard Heckman
