I would add all the extra information in the Event Notes, so the Sentence might read something like "James Langston had land on the south side of Tar River in Granville County, North Carolina. He purchased this 5 acres of land from John Doe for $5 on 01 September 1810 and is believed to have grazed cattle there." -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
