Marli, Wow! In the past, I have printed this sort of thing, as well as put it into a .txt file (to be pasted later). Then I figure out what all information for whom is included, then set up a source (using clipboard), paste all this into the source "Text", then enter data for individuals and apply source citations. That usually means I don't enter all of this directly into Legacy as soon as I find it. I think if I were to copy & paste it immediately directly in, I would set up a To Do item for the person whose will it is (that's the first bit of info), and indicate I need to look at the whole thing and update all individuals involved. I mean, if I have time right then to set up To Do items for each person named, then I have time to set up the source and enter the data. I just like the hardcopy so I can write notes; it's a learning mechanism thing for me. However, my method means the information doesn't show up on reports until I get it all into the appropriate events (but also, I don't have the sources listed right there with the facts... they are at the end).
That said, previous discussions here have mentioned how people have events called "Will" (for the deceased, usually includes transcript and/or image of will) or "Bequeathed" (for the others mentioned). Or even using this as a source on the Father-Child relationship. I think that most people here would not leave this sort of information in Research Notes. These notes represent results of your research... facts about the individuals. I would enter them as events and cite the sources... as soon as you have time to do so. --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump **Hale (wonder if mine are also from Canada?)

They are cut & past threads so I have where I found them (if possible). Short of printing everything in this note.,I think I would put the Probate part into events, (probate) and into each individual named (I love clipboard!!). I highlighted my direct line person. The other thing I've thought about is using "Name" event for the rest of the family with a "Probate of Isaac Ketchum Will" in the description. This makes more sense to me than where it is now in the General notes Marli Boards > Localities > North America > Canada > New Brunswick > Kings List Messages | Post New Message | Add Board To Favorites | Add Board To Notifications | Links & Announcements <<Thread • Previous • Next • Thread>> Re: John W. Ketchum & family Author: Susan Wyllie Date: 2 Mar 2002 3:40 AM GMT Surnames: Ketchum Classification: Query In Reply to: Re: Charles Ketchum by: Marli Yoder Post Reply | Mark Unread | Report Abuse Print Message I just found the will of John's father in "Early New Brunswick Probate Records" by R. Wallace Hale: Isaac KETCHUM parish of Norton, Kings Co., NB Esquire. Will dated Nov. 10, 1819 and proved March 23, 1820. All land in the parish of Norton to be sold and the proceeds divided among son John W. Ketchum, daughter Charlotte Snider, son Isaac Ketchum, daughter Clarissa Ketchum, daughter Mary Ann Ketchum, son Edwin Ketchum, daughter Jane Ketchum, and daughter Susan Mariah Ketchum, the several sums to be left in the hands of my executors to be given to the children as they shall think proper, except the parts to John W. Ketchum and Charlotte Snider which will be given as soon as convenient. All household property to be divided among my four youngest daughters. Should my wife Betsey Ketchum survive me, my executors to provide all things for her comfort for life. Son Edwin Ketchum my watch. Son Isaac Ketchum and daughter Clarissa Ketchum executors. Witnesses: Edmund D. Sharland, William Miller, Johnson H. Crawford. Inventory, dated March 21, 1820, valued at 882 pounds. I found Isaac Ketchum's name in "The New Loyalist Index", Volume 1: Isaac Ketchum, 200 acre grant #34 in Norton, Kings Co., NB There's a long list of Ketchum's in the Loyalist book who all settled in Norton -- Daniel, Isaac, Jed, Jonathan, Samuel, Thomas and William. I haven't been able to find out anything more on Sophia. After their marriage they lived in Huntington, Long Island, New York, but later probably went to New Brunswick with their son.
