Are there any 'new' notes on the sketch?

    David

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Just in passing ...

    Short Answer: 'No'.

    The ONLY things, that I was really able to uncovered were:

    A "Knowledge Article", in 'FamilySearch":

    How do I add a life sketch, vitals, and other information to Family Tree?

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-add-a-life-sketch-vitals-and-other-information-to-family-tree

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-add-a-life-sketch-vitals-and-other-information-to-family-tree

    Where, it states among other things:

    Quote

    ------------------

    • The life sketch is a story of the person's life. It can have up to 10,000 characters. To enter a life sketch, you must use the Family Tree on the FamilySearch.org website.
      • We recommend that you type your life sketch into a word processing document first, then copy it into Family Tree. Otherwise your session may time out, and you may lose your work.

    ------------------

    And ...

    In the 'FamilySearch' "Blog":

    A very 'Dated' (30 December 2014) Article; where, the Two (x2) included "Links", NO LONGER work ...

    Creating a Life Sketch in Family Tree

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/blog/creating-a-life-sketch-in-family-tree

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/blog/creating-a-life-sketch-in-family-tree

    So ...

    That Said ...

    Again ... 'No' ... NOTHING really NEW ...

    Sorry ...

    I know, that this certainly may/does not help/assist.

    Dear Brett,

    Thank you for your comments.

    You found the same articles as I had found.

    Originally there was a fuller article that gave a formulaic approach that formed a good barrier against mis-use/incorrect changing of the vital/genealogical information. It cannot now be found. It was a great help for teaching purposes and a good beginners introduction to writing basic family history.

    Thank you for taking time to try and find the information.
