Wills and monumental inscriptions often provide clinching evidence for
relationships between family members, which I don't think can be sourced but
also does provide evidence for births, deaths, marriages and other facts that
can be supported by sourcing
 
But I can't think of a consistent and sensible part of the Legacy database as a
home for these transcriptions or abstracts
 
Currently I store wills as a testator's event/fact and reference this as the
source (the transcription will include the location of the copied document and
when and by whom it was transcribed) for the various facts that the will
supports
 
I do something different for monumental inscriptions because the amount of text
is much less; I put a transcription as part of the source detail text/comment,
which seems wasteful when the one inscription supports several facts
 
I've looked in the help file and the reference manual but can't find advice how
to manage these two filing issues
 
What do you do?
