Associating an obituary with a person on Ancestry This is what the burial and obituary look like in the facts section: ![Obit1]( The **burial** and **obituary** are both linked to the same source entry. The **obituary** is a custom fact: ![Obit2]( I have attached the scan of the part of the **newspaper** to the **obituary** fact. And the **source** entry has the **transcription** of the actual newspaper. Is this a satisfactory way to associate an obituary article with a person? It is a pity that using the Ancestry app it doesn't seem to show the source transcription text: ![source in app](

Been tracking genealogy for many many years (via TMG), and I'm new to using Ancestry.com. After reading posts like this and doing a little testing, I've decided to handle obits two ways. First, I'll attach a photo to the person if I have a scan or a screenshot of the obit. Second, I'll transcribe the obit to a simple Google Doc on my own account (simple if it's already on a website). Then on Ancestry.com, near the sources they have a place where you can add web links. I'm adding a link named "Obituary 1" that goes to the published obituary online (frequently from a newspaper or funeral home website), and another link named "Obituary 2" which goes to my own Google Doc. What I like about this approach is that I can easily get to the obit using either my computer or phone. And I also have a nice folder on my Google Drive with all of my obits in there.
