This is an interesting situation that I had not thought of before. I have
an essay of sorts, written by a great-aunt, titled (name deleted to protect the
guilty), "I. F. L's. Story Of Her Father And His Family" which also includes
some information on the paternal grandfather and his family. It is seventeen
pages long. Would you put that as a master source and then list and show the
specific page as the detail? Wendy mentioned, ". . ., and it's not too long, I
would transcribe . . . ." I would not have to transcribe it as it is typed and
saved as a file elsewhere. Could I link the file to the master source callout
(if that is the right word)? I also am compiling a 600-page family genealogy
and include the essay as an appendix.

Subject: [LegacyUG] "Right" way to add essays or excerpts from others to Family
File
I have several "essays" written by others that I would like to include in my
family file somewhere, but I'm not certain the best location to put them.
Should I put them as sources, general notes, event notes, etc???
Example.. I have a two page essay written by H Caraway titled "My Mother Bertie
Le Mills Fish 1906-1997". It is basically memories of H from her childhood
regarding her mother.
So what is best practice to document this?
Thanks.
