Subject: [LegacyUG] Notes VS Events
I'm having some personal conflict in whether to add data as a note or an
event and would like some views on where folks place specific data .
For example - I have a biography from relative A - should I enter it under
the notes or make it an event? another - If entering 1860 census data
showing Uncle Joe's family and those living in his household - note or
event?
Some observations when preparing a 'book' report - Descendant Narrative :
(1) If I enter data as a note, the information is located immediately
under the persons name as a flowing narrative, which can get rather
lengthy plus would require adding my sourcing information to the narrative
if I wanted to show where I got the information; OR (2) if entered as an
event, the data becomes a short cryptic entry after the name with a
footnote. I do note that the entire data can appear in the footnote,
together with the sourcing material, providing that feature is elected
when setting up the source detail (i.e., selecting 'Add this text to the
source citation on reports' ).
It may be that personal preference dictates this, but I would appreciate
some insight from others on how they use the notes and events feature.
