Thanks for the input. I didn't think of the Vital notes titles printing at
the end of the report when there aren't any notes entered.
Yes, I will have to play with a person in the sample file to see what
happens with all the reports. Like I said, I'm still thinking about this

Hi Linda.Somehow the subject of sourcing has gotten mixed in with the
discussion of how Legacy formats reports with notes. You can, as you
suggest, create new B,B,D, and Burial events. They will print
chronologically and have the notes in the "right" place. But on some
reports, haven't looked at al
Thanks Laurel.
I'll have to think about that a bit.

I transcribe (abstract) my sources under the source citation, plus I always
attach a copy of the source to the citation. Then in my event I will refer back
to the source "her death certificate states" or "her obituary showed" so if
there are 3 citations attached to that event I can look at those

Linda, I am doing something similar to what you are thinking of doing. I will
have only one birth event (same for death, mrg, baptism, etc) and I input all
the information I have (whether correct or alternate) under that one event.
Usually the facts that I consider correct will be at the top of
The idea of having the notes for the vital events within the chronology
(instead at the end of the report) has gotten me thinking about applying it
to my own family. Before I do anything however, I need some other eyes
and thoughts- - - what would be the problems of doing it this way down the

Hi Evelyn
I also enter the sources separately for each event. I enter the transcript
as part of the source detail, as Geoff has suggested in his webinars. When
I go back to see what sources I have for each event I am able to access the

Hi Martha,
I have found it most helpful to use one event per source. If I have 2
sources that support a single event (i.e. birthdate) then I have to attach
2 sources to the event. I have to enter 2 transcripts of the data in the
Event Notes. When I go back to that event, there is no way for me to
