Hi @JGray30,

If you have these notes in the same file as the contact information, you would have to choose:

Start an import \> Import file from computer \> One file \> Multiple objects

If you have notes and contacts in two files, sharing a key that maps contacts to notes, you would choose:

Start an import \> Import file from computer \> Multiple files with associations

You can find this explained in detail here: [Import records for multiple objects](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/import-objects#import-records-and-activities)

Recommended fields for such an import are:

- Note body (required)
- Activity date (optional but helpful)
- Email (required)

You would then map these during the import process.

You can also find an example file of a similar import here, for companies and notes: [Format import files](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/set-up-your-import-file#multiple-objects-with-associations)

Best regards!
