You said: "Going through it again in response to your post I discovered that the single person GED has in fact not only notes for my Grand Uncle, but also many, many more including many source notes that have nothing to do with this individual."

1) FTM has a "comment" section for free hand text at the Source level that could be interpreted as a "Note".

Select a Source - a) in the Source Workspace -right click - edit or b) at the source citation level, bring up a source and hit the Edit Button. You will see the "Comment" Section at the bottom of the SOURCE setup / edit screen. Are your notes there? These "comments" don't show in any report that I am aware of.

2) FTM has a Source Citation Note. Bring up a source citation and see four tabs: Source, Reference Note, Media, Note". Are your notes hidden there? These notes appear in no report that I am aware of - not even a Reference Note of a source citation.
