Sure, there is a Notes tab on every fact/event.

Hi Bob, when I locate information on a person that is just general information
like the places where the person has lived, where they worked, I will place it
in the person's notes.

this to the birth notes.

It seems to be that the biography would be neither note nor event but a source.
It is what is within the biography that would go into an event or note. I
would put most of the information in as an event. Notes I use for information

I can't see a biography as an event or as a note. I'd make the biography a
source (relative A being the source of the source) and then add the events in
the biography with whatever additional notes were needed.

I agree with Paul on this. It also offers the added benefit of being able to
move the information up or down in the events - to appear first or last, or
chronologically.

However, Mary Beth, sometimes it is nice to include a biography, as a whole,
within a report, for which placement in an event is nice. It would, of
course, also be the source for that event.

Let me share an idea I got from Geoff Rasmussen. With the flexibility Legacy
offers, we can consider entering data in more than one place, then use
various options to only include what we want.
For example, the biography data could be entered both as an event AND in the
General Notes.

It¹s a good idea.
For me, however, I simply stopped using the General notes some time ago,
except as a convenient occasional ³parking spot² for some bit of info I was
in the active stages of investigating.

Bob,
This kind of option has been touched on before - basically "personal
preference".
I am normally a "lumper". Obituaries go into Source Detail Text (if
transcribed) or Source Detail Multimedia. I don't expect to reproduce them for
everyone, unless there is something unusual, noteworthy,
Well, I made a custom event for obituaries. There is general one
already, but mine allows me to include everything from an obit, pall
bearers (they could be family members and relatives), speakers,
singers, etc. In addition I also include funeral home information-

I have never pretended to have sufficient skills to write a book, although I'm

Thanks Ron - I enjoyed your take on writing vs accountancy.

I haven't done many Obituaries, but I generally enter it as a Source, adding
