That was part of my point about the different event types -- when to use
land vs. deed. Michele pointed out that deeds aren't just for land.
The land event yields the language "James Langston had land on the south
side of Tar River in Granville County, North Carolina" but it doesn't
say how he acquired it - by deed, grant or otherwise. I prefer the land
language but, again, should you modify the sentence to specify how he
acuired the land?

Would you really just say "listed on a deed" ? Or would it be "acquired

of your report get the feel for what the deed really means? (I am not a
land documents expert, though.) --Paula

Michele, you said “Each deed will be in different books on different
page numbers. It would be pretty messy to try and record a single
citation for 20 different deeds.”
What if there are 20 deeds abstracted in the same work for the same
ancestor? The only thing that will differ is the page number in the
source citation and maybe the deed books – 10 of them may be in Deed
Book A and the other 10 in Deed Book B. That said, I do see your point
about “one event – one source.”
My problem is that I find it rather monotonous to list events thusly:
James was listed on a deed on 20 Dec 1760 in Granville Co., NC.
He was listed on a deed on 30 Jan 1761 in Granville Co., NC.
James was listed on a deed on 3 Feb 1761 in Granville Co., NC.
I appreciate that Legacy defines events based on individual specific
records for an individual. That said, in the Register Reports I
generated when using PAF I entered the deed abstracts or court records
or other sources into a “Notes” section which fell after the
individual’s primary family data (the record of his/her marriage and
children). I’m not sure whether I’d prefer that level of detail within
the report or in the end/footnote, with the event giving a summation
only.

Barton,
You can create events for your land records. There is a generic land
record event but I prefer to make mine a little more specific (things
like Georgia Headright, Bounty Land Warrant, etc.)
Totally up to you the way you handle deeds but I prefer to record each
deed separately with separate citations. Each deed will be in different
books on different page numbers. I would be pretty messy to try and
record a single citation for 20 different deeds.

Subject: [LegacyUG] one source entry - many entries
I have 2 questions about sources: first, where do I enter land
records? I looked (also on Help) and did not see an obvious answer. On
the Individual’s Information page, for example, I guess I could click
inside the surname field and add it there but I’m not sure that’s
right. PAF had fields for Military, Land etc. Does Legacy not have
those?
Also, some ancestors have dozens of records in a single county – e.g. in
published abstracts of deeds. I don’t really want to create a separate
source entry for each one – I thought I would handle it thusly: create
a single source, leave the page field blank, and paste the text into the
Text/Comments field with the page number in square brackets for each
record. Does that sound right?
Thank you.
Barton
