I tend to use the notes field for miscellaneous data that I want to verify,
or that provides supporting evidence for my ideas about who this ancestor
really is, or may be, or my thinking about this person, etc. Then I don't
export that or post it to a web page. It's really for my reference only -
and I can print it in reports for my own use. The addition of a separate
research notes field enables me to separate my thinking about a subject from
specific details to be handled, such as obtaining a birth certificate,
checking a census, etc. Things I want to export or pass along I typically
put into event or source listings and let those print out in reports where
appropriate.
(On webpages, I don't much care whether supporting notes, events, or sources
are posted in detail as I prefer for people interested in the line to
contact me for more information. Give it all to them and they may take it
and never let you know they're working on the line.)
