In the Notes section, I often have a variety of information entered and not 
everything can be classified into one of the traditional source categories like 
'arrival', 'birth', 'death', etc. For instance there may text saying
a) 'went to xyz in 1856'
b) 'also went to abc in 1859'
c) etc.
(a) may be from source 'source 1', (b) was from a different source, 'source 2', 
etc.  If  was writing this in an academic article or book, I would reference 
the various parts of that text with footnotes like this:

....'went to xyz in 1856 (footnote 1)'..., 'also went to abc in 1859 (footnote 
2)'..., etc (footnote 3).

(Footnotes)
1. source 1
2. source 2
3. source 3

How would one reference source the various different but similar note items for 
the same person in Legacy? Any possibility of having something like "source 
footnotes" in the notes fields, or is that asking too much <grin>? I believe 
accurate recording of sources is essential for good genealogy.
