Liz, I have never bothered to acutually keep a record of witnesses on a
regular basis and when I have I have just put them in notes. However, I do
agree that this does not make them obvious. One could always create a
Witness event and include them there should you wish, putting their names in
the description so that you could easily search for them. Come to think of
it, I may have at play at doing something like that for myself.

As a new user I would be interested to know what others do in storing
details of witnesses on marriage certificates. Do you add them to the
marriage notes only or do you create a separate person in the database, but
do not link them - what I am thinking is that often in research you do find
that these people are related in some way. If you only record them in
notes surely they are then not instantly obvious when doing further
research, whereas in my paper records I keep a sheet for them in
alphabetical order and can find them at a glance.
