Re: [LegacyUG] Where is the best place to post obituary in Legacy?
Or you could put the obituary in BOTH the Obituary Event Notes AND in the source detail text. I have been doing that with my census events as I'm not sure which way I will want the reports in the future (got this idea from Geoff). Then I have a different event sentence depending on if I have anything in the Description field. If I do, I don't include Notes in my sentence. If I don't have anything in the Description field, I do include the Notes in my sentence. What I put in the description field is simply age 16 (whatever age is in the notes). So if I want the notes to print, I just delete the description. This may or may not work for you for Obituaries. Just my thoughts.

OBITUARY AND SIMILAR TEXT I am wondering where users find is the best place to post obituaries and similar text information in an individuals record in Legacy. I have been putting it in the source citation - detail - text area. But, I am beginning to think this may not be the best place when it comes to printing reports. I'm not sure I like it printing in the source part of the report, would probably prefer it in the narrative. Any Comments? LOCATIONS IN CENSUS REPORTS I really like the Census Reports that were added, but have an issue with including the correct individuals in the report. Example: If I enter the location as , , Washington, United States, to get a report of individuals in Washington State, the list will also include individuals from Washington County in Wisconsin. Same thing with , , Iowa, United States, I get Iowa County, Wisconsin. Any comments?

You can use the Obituary Event and put the whole obituary in the notes section of the event. Problem with that is, it may take up lots of space in your report if you include Events. You can use the Obituary Event without putting it in the notes section of the event and then include the whole obituary in the source detail text for that event. Your choice.

Re: [LegacyUG] Where is the best place to post obituary in Legacy?
I put my obits under Death Notes next to the Death date on the Individual's Information screen. I don't exactly understand, though, why Legacy outputs information starting with the Death information. Life doesn't usually occur in that order. --- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/ On 9/25/2012 8:31 PM, CE WOOD wrote: You can use the Obituary Event and put the whole obituary in the notes section of the event.
