How do I turn memories into sources?

Question

I have personal memories of my grandmother, including memories of her telling me about “old times”old people”. Of course, I can add this information to the memories section on a profile, but what I really would like is to integrate it into biographies.

What is the best way to do this? Should I just add the information and refer to “told by xx to yy”, or would it be better to write a separate document with these memories, add a free space profile for it and refer to the document?

Any preferences or ideas?

Answer 1

My preference would be to add the information to each of the people concerned, sourced as you described and probably including her relationship to that person. But you probably have a great deal you'd like to say about your grandmother which would be subjective. That, perhaps, would be better on a free space page. Think I'm saying do both depending on the memory.

es n,

Yes, you can create a citation something like the following (including links to their various profiles):

<ref>Paulina Jauch Smith (1884-1963), personal memories as shared with her son John Smith, during his last visit to Buffalo, New York, summer of 1962.</ref>
