Betty, I think it would be quite educational and interesting to note how our ancestors lived, worked, played, socialized etc. Surely everyone realizes "things were different in the old days" and the further back we go the more different they are. Not everyone will agree and some won't want to know, and that's okay too. Being an orphan, not knowing family traits, etc., if I were in your shoes and had that opportunity I'd grab it and hold on. Write and document everything for my own information and share with those that want to know. Bernadine

Someone has said, "The more things change, the more they remain the same." Behaviors that we regard as deviant have been happening all along, but they were hushed up. The same actions that caused scandals during the Victorian era are ho-hum now--the difference is today's openness as opposed to the secretiveness of the past. I agree that it's hard to figure out what to tell, but I am inclined to create confidential notes with !. You have to double space or maybe triple space after the confidentical note, so that the remainder of your notes will print when you ask for that function. Depending on something technical in PAF that I don't understand, it doesn't always work that way; so to be on the safe side, use the ! before each confidential paragraph. I struggle with a family whose two children were fathered by (1) the husband's brother and (2) the wife's nephew. Descendants of both deserve to know but who am I to do the telling? There's a certain deficiency with the second child and his descendants that is surely caused by the close relationship--there had already been a first-cousin marriage among the ancestry of the aunt-nephew couple.

Lila, I think you mean to use ~ to create a confidential note For example: ~ This note would be confidential. !This note would be printed on reports.

Oops! You're right. I haven't added a confidential note for so long I forgot the code.
