Thank you all for telling me how you do your obits. Now I can't decide
whether I want the full obit to show in reports.

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
... [FirstName] was remembered in an obituary, published [onDate], in
[Place][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
... [HeShe] was remembered in an
obituary[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.
Mary

Subject: [LegacyUG] obituaries
I am having a hard time deciding where or how to enter obituaries. 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.
