Jean, I use an obituary event as I like the transcribed obit to be included in reports where events and notes are allowed.
I edited my event definition sentences to read differently, depending on how much source information I know. For instance, if I know the date and location of the publication, my obituary event in my report might begin with the sentence: ... Jack was remembered in an obituary, published 15 Oct 2003, in Danville, Yell County, Arkansas And the obituary transcription follows <b> ... [FirstName] was remembered in an obituary, published [onDate], in [Place]</b>[Sources][CR][CR][Notes][CR] Occasionally, I come across a newspaper clipping of an obituary that someone has shared but they don't include source information, so I've no idea what newspaper printed the obituary. In this instance, my beginning obituary event sentence reads: ... he (or she or first name) was remembered in an obituary. And the obituary transcription follows <b> ... [HeShe] was remembered in an obituary</b>[Sources][CR][CR][Notes][CR] In all instances, I bold this first sentence, which helps to set it off in the report. I don't add the transcription of the obituary to the source detail since it is included in the report.

Years ago I started putting them on the bottom half of the medical notes. Then I moved to burial notes, along with FAG info. When Geoff or someone mentioned putting obits as an event, so you could make a report of all people who had obit, I started putting them as events, which I still do. Now I am working on sourcing them (I do not use sourcewriter) and have entered some in the detail of the source. I am confused. What is the best way of entering obits, so you can have them appear on reports? Is there a webinar specifically covering this? Thanks for suggestions.
