I use an Obituary event and a Marriage Notice event. For the Obituary
event, I transcribe the obituary as well as put a scanned image of the
obituary clipping in the event. I use the Marriage Notice event for both
Wedding Announcements and Marriage Announcements. I also transcribe those
into the notes and attach an image of the clipping.
For obituaries that list the pallbearers and Ministers/Preachers, I created
a Pallbearer at Funeral event and an Officiated at Funeral event. I have
found many relatives through these pallbearer events because pallbearers
here in Arkansas especially in the 1800s to early 1900s were usually
grandsons or nephews!
I also have Maid of Honor and Best Man events for the weddings as well as
Guest Book Attendant, Hosted Event, and Officiated at Wedding Event.
Several of the people who fill these rolls at the wedding are also usually
relatives.
I like to have the text of the announcement and the scanned image in each
event so that when I read through the family history that I print or put on
my website, I can clearly see where I am getting that information without
having to go back to my source information. It just seems to make the
source much clearer for me although I do duplicate the information in my
sources.
I love the copy/paste events because it lets me set up these events with the
text in the notes and the image and then just change the event name and then
copy it to all the people mentioned in the source - What a timesaver!
