Hi James, I use notes for that type of thing. I use the Research notes to collect all the tidbits, emails, and things like "I searched the entire census for St. Joseph Co. and could not find any Quinn's". And then I use General Notes to tell "the story" where you can incorporate any/all of the items you've collected in your research notes. Hope this gives you some ideas. Rita in South Carolina
PS: What I would like are some ideas on is where to record church/cemetery information. I have several families where the church was very important and several generations attended the same church, donated land, founded the church, and lots of other things. I would love not to have to repeat this information in everyone's notes. Anyone have any thoughts? -----Original Message----- From: James Cook [mailto:jc1...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 9:05 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Where to put life stories? I'm talking about the tidbits of information handed down in legends, sent in emails, or flow out of interviews? Things like Grandpa Moses lived in a river boat on the river, or Great Aunt Sally dated Jesse James, or whatever. The stuff that puts some life into all the facts we collect. I've been toying with the idea of a custom event for this, and I was going with one I wanted to call "Fun Facts", but I've decided everything is not fun - like a triple killing in my tree. And, of course, the 'fact' part is questionable. It may be a fact that this story was often told, but the story itself may not be a fact. Anyway, I'm looking for some ideas for how to do this. In the case of an event, I was thinking I could use an entry format in the notes section like so "When I was a boy, we had rocks to play with, and we liked it!" - Uncle Joe [Joe Doe 1847-1911] Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
