Person Note Template

Use this template when creating a new person note in the Librarian notebook. Person notes are the primary location for claims, analysis, and evidence evaluation.


Identity

  • Name: [Full name as most commonly recorded]
  • Name Variants: [Alternate spellings found in records]
  • Born: [Date and place — tag as [fact] or [claim]]
  • Died: [Date and place — tag as [fact] or [claim]]
  • Buried: [Location — tag as [fact] or [claim]]

Relations

Claims

[Each claim is a statement with an inline citation and a tag. Claims are candidates for promotion to fact via GPS review.]

Open Questions

  • [question] [Specific unanswered question about this person]
  • [question] [Another question]

Tasks

  • [todo] [Specific research action related to this person]

Evidence

[Analysis of sources relating to this person. This is where conflicts are examined, sources are weighed, and reasoning is documented.]

[Topic — e.g., "Parentage" or "Birth Year"]

[Discussion of evidence for and against. Cite sources inline. If GPS review has been done, include the proof statement here.]

Notes

[Unstructured observations, theories, naming pattern analysis, community connections. Anything that might matter but isn't a formal claim or question. Tag speculation clearly.]
