[LegacyUG] birth, marriage and death Events?

Do people create Events for birth, marriage, obits and death announcements? I've been transcribing them, but not sure where to have them appear (they look a little goofy as text with sources). And if yes, are they announcements or notices? Thanks, Ralf Ask a question on any topic
