Bob, Nobody is getting at you, and yes the Forum is for discussing Legacy and asking questions. But the fact is that what Mary says is correct for Events and Event Notes. However your reference to endnotes suggests to me that you are thinking of Sources and Not Events.

As I indicated, it was just an observation - and a personal choice, being neither 'wrong' nor critical as has been implied. I thought this forum was for discussing ways of using Legacy and asking questions - am wrong on this?

If it is attached to the marriage, it reads in the marriage information. It is the same as placing the information in the General or Marriage Notes, you just have more control over where it shows up in the narrative plus you can attach a photo as well as separately source information to each Notes event. A personally created event is used just like the included Named events would be with an individual or a marriage to attach/ include information for the family group.

However, it sort of loses appeal to me when the data is not with the individual in a book narrative. If you have a 500 page book, the individual note (now an event) is listed on page 385 (example only) and seems to remove the 'history' from the immediate individual. Guess it is all in one's preference, but it is an interesting concept. - especially the photo addition possibility.

After that is done and you're sure you have the notes section all copied, then delete the identical information from the section of hard coded notes. This way, you can shift this new event all around among the events so it will read and print as and where you'd like it to within the report. With an event, you can also add in (attach) a photo. While the photos usually are quite small (maybe someday we'll be allowed to size them as we'd like) at least they add some interest to the events. If you'd like to see a report that I can produce using an event titled notes, as well as some of the original named events, rather than using the hard coded Notes, I'll create a short one in a pdf file, attach to an email and send to you so you can see how I've used an event titled 'notes' to write up some of my family history. This report can now be created in a second or two and I can shift and edit to my hearts content, should I come across more information or photo's I'd like to add to this family's history.
