Notes on a person

Alexander Craig said: There should be a way to leave notes on a person, so others can see and all work together to figure out a problem.

So like I just merged three people together because they were the same person. But each merge, there was a child on those three different people. So I keep them all as separate people but they do have simpler names. I wanted to leave some notes on the person to say something about it but I don't see an option to do that. And I didn't have enough information to solve the problem by myself.

It is not unusual to find minimal information about a family and its members in records for the massive tree. In most cases, a check of the source will reveal the source of the record. Further research is often needed to "flesh out" the surviving record.
