Yes, modern "In Memoriam" notices are published on or near an anniversary of death. I only use these as a source. I was probably mistaken in thinking that Alan had something other than a modern notice that also contained a type of potted life history, as he mentioned an old newspaper, but even so, I agree, it is not an Obituary.

This is not an Obituary so I wouldn't make this an Obituary event.

In Source Text, you could copy the entire announcement. This source could apply to other details mentioned in the announcement - for example, death date, names of relatives etc. Jennifer -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of M.

The actual "In Memoriam" could also be used as a source for the death information. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan Eardley Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2007 9:45 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: [LegacyUG] In Memoriam I have come across an "In Memoriam" entry in an old newspaper that covers the death of three (3) family members; I note and appreciate the advice of how to enter an obituary but would appreciate the advice and guidance from the group on how to record this "In Memoriam" information into Legacy.
