For direct ancestors, I include the text in the notes; same for codicils. For ancestral relatives, I include it in the text section of the source detail.
Including it in the event notes takes up more room in your reports. If you want cleaner, shorter reports, include it in the source detail. CE Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2015 11:30:09 -0700 Subject: [LegacyUG] Transcription of Wills - where's the best place to record them? From: [email protected] To: [email protected] I've come across online images to lots of will books that relate to my research (yeah! I don't have to pay to have pages copied or travel long distances to get tot he original books) and although I'm sourcing the information I get out of them, I'm not sure where the best place to include a transcribed copy of the will. I realize that "best place" is somewhat subjective but as I'm still learning the program, I'm sure there are places that would work well that I've never encountered yet. I've thought about including it on the general notes for an individual but I'm not sure I like how that prints on reports. I'm considering doing a "Will" event and including the text in the notes but I don't know how that will appear in reports and/or gedcom's. Any other ideas/suggestions? Thanks!
