Special notes

Post by Johnr65 » 05 May 2015 07:30

Is there a place where one can put general notes or comments about social history e'g. burials in unconsecrated ground and the reasons for it.

Maybe use the Note Records via the Records Window in the Notes tab.

As an addendum to Mike's suggestion, I prefix the text to some of my Note Records by a number. This is a reminder to me that these numbered notes have a general significance, rather than one to be linked to a group of individuals. That way, not only is their overall significance clear, but they are sorted together.

Thus, I have such Note Records for customs relating to Scots lairs (graves) or the explanation of Roods, Poles and Perches (diversion - I can see in my mind's eye, shiny red exercise books with the definitions for rods, poles and perches, printed on the back. Never went in, though!)
