    1. [FTM-TECH] Question about Facts
    2. Tom Herson
    3. After I reviewed my Custom Facts, I find that I have added 3 related facts - Civic, Government and Politics. I have used each for things like recording elected offices held or boards the individuals served on. With regard to the politics fact, I have also used that fact to record political party affiliation. I see the Pre-Defined Fact "Elected" listed and I'm guessing that's the place to record elected offices and, perhaps, boards the individuals served on. I'm looking to redefine some of these "events" and I'd like to hear how others these things. Other Custom Facts that I have created are pretty self-explanatory, but since I'm surprised that they're missing from the Pre-Defined Facts, I'm wondering how other FTM 2012 users handle the following categories: City Directory Entry [I'm aware that this could be a Source] Godfather Godmother Hobbies Memberships Sponsors [in most cases, these are Godparents, which is the preferred way to record these are Facts?] Witnesses [I've created this category for what could be Best Man and Maid or Matron of Honor] I'm well aware I can do whatever I want, but I'd appreciate hearing about your preferences.
