Kay, I put the date the event occurred.
I attach the photo in only one place. If it is a death certificate I attach it to the death field. If it is a funeral card I attach it to the burial field. If it is a baptismal record I attach it to the baptismal field. If it is a compiled service record I attached it to a military event, etc. I can use that document as a source for many fields but I will only attach the image to the one it specifically applies to.

When I am entering a media documentation such as a death certificate, it has a date field. What date do most people put here? I put "todays date" as the date I documented the info, but then I began to wonder if it should be the date of death, the date the death was recorded, or what? Also, is there one place to post the media and refer to it as needed or is it posted separately for each documentation... such as date of death, spouse name, parent name, etc? I don't want to overload my files with the same image in so many different paces. Thanks for your help. I hope my questions are clear and I am sure this is basic but I have not found clear answers so I thought it may be a personal opinion rather than a procedure that is followed and would like to know how others handle it.
