I put them in the Event for a will, and put the text of the will into the "Detail text" of the source. There is not much point in scanning them, as in most cases the wills you have are office copies, and not the original signed by the testator. If yopu do have an original will, especially a holograph one, it might be worth scanning. -- Steve Hayes Web: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7734/stevesig.htm http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7783/famhist1.htm http://www.gencircles.com/users/hayesstw E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Searching for: HAYES, GROWDEN, VAUSE, HANNAN, STOOKE COTTAM, GREEN, PEARSON, FALKENBERG & more Legacy User Group guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup%40mail.millenniacorp.com/ To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp
