Note Records
Note records are identfied by this icon:

For most purposes you don't need an actual Note record to store a note.
In Family Historian you can keep notes about almost anything, and these
are normally kept in the record that they relate to. For example, a note
about a person's birth would be attached to the birth event in the
Individual's record. But if you wish to make a note that is applicable
to more than one Individual, Family, Source or Repository - or to a
combination of records of different types - you should create the note
as a Note record, and link it to all the relevant records. For example,
you might wish to make a note about an important house - who acquired
it, when, who did they acquire it from, who modified it, who sold it …
and so on.
You can link to new or existing Note records by clicking on the Add
Note button 
on the tab
toolbar, when viewing the Notes
tab in the Property Box, for the record you wish to link the note to.
