[LegacyUG] Notes for Name fields
Does anyone have suggestions for the best way to attach notes to the Name fields (Given, Surname, Prefix, Suffix, AKA)? - there are numerous occasions when I need to provide comments or explanations about Names - all other Events let us attach notes to the respective events (Birth, Occupation, Residence, etc.), but the only way to have notes associated with Names is to either a) put it in general notes, or b) create another event for Name. Neither of those options is attractive (even though I'm doing it). Am I missing something or should this be on the New Feature list?

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes for Name fields
Hi Mike, If you go to the *source detail* there is an option for *comments* and I use that. This then becomes specific to the source, but I find that my comments are almost always specific to a particular source.

From the help: Additional Information for Birth, Christening, Death and Burial fields. At the right end of the Birth, Christening, Death and Burial fields there is a button that lets you add notes, addresses, and pictures that are specific to these fields. Click on the for the Born field, for example, pops up a shortcut menu with the options: Birth Address, Birth Notes, Birth Pictures. Clicking on the desire option opens the appropriate window for adding the information.

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes for Name fields
Bert: I appreciate those fields and that is my question for comparison. I use all of those note fields and I have frequently used the Birth notes to hold some commentary on the names. -- but there is no comparable note field for names. Mitch: I do add comments in Source Details, but unless you print all of the sources, those don't print in, for example, a Descendent Narrative report. Also, the notes I want to record are frequently about my logic for why I settled on a particular name, or how I found it, or why a spelling change to the name may have occurred, or why a nickname or AKA was used.

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes for Name fields
Hi Mike (and list), I agree that there are times when it seems appropriate to add a note about a name specifically, and I think this functionality would be good to have. But in lieu of that, you could add to the General Notes and put a paragraph about the name. That would come out on the Descendent Narrative report. Arthur Rogers was known to me as Uncle Stub. I never got an explaination from others in the family about why he was called Stub, but I suspect the reason is that there was another Arthur Rogers (who would have been HIS Uncle Arthur) in the family Something like that??

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes for Name fields
Mike, Since you are talking about variations to names, I use the AKA option. I do this for any variation to a name and then I add the source for the variation together with notes in the comments section. It sounds like you want something different, but that is how I handle it. I agree printing is an issue with this method.
