Ed, There is a SourceWriter template for Personal Knowledge. If you use Basic Sources, you can enter something similar. I include whose knowledge and how they know or think they know - ie something that enables you to evaluate the knowledge. eg: If my brother tells me he's a grandfather again on the day of the birth, I can be sure of the date - unless he just says "last night" and doesn't know at that stage whether it was before or after midnight. But if I ask him now when one of them was born, I can't be so sure of the information he gives me unless he looks it up as he's not good with dates. Takes after our father - who gave us birthday presents but rarely on the day itself.
