You reference classifying info into traditional source categories like arrival, birth, death. Typically in Legacy these are called events and you can add any sort of event to a person. Legacy has a starting list but you can add any type of event/fact you like to that list. This would allow you to break your note into "moved", "moved", etc with a separate source attribution to each, OR you could leave them all in the note, and link all three sources to that note with details in each source attribution that show which source applies to which fact, OR ... Look at the "Narrative" type reports to see how Legacy reports notes, events, source references and sources before you decide definitely how you really want place your facts and source references. Note that the sentence structure used by Legacy in Narrative reports can be varied considerably or bypassed. Use "Help" to understand some of the structures. Peter
