Cathy, I'm sorry as I seem to have muddied the waters a little with my ending
remark about Comments from Master Sources being exported on GEDCOMS. Let's
leave those points for a different thread.
Back to the problem that Genealogy Bob first brought up when he was surprised
about seeing these
Thanks Brian, it may be another day or two before I can get back to
that. Stay tuned

Barton,
If you are using a book of abstracts then the BOOK is your source, not the
deeds. In this case you WOULD only have one source for all of the deeds. You
never cite an index or an abstract as you would the original. If you have a
copy of the deed in your hot little hands then the deed
Thanks, Michele. I try to get copies of original deeds for all direct
ancestors; if I am documenting their siblings, and we're tlaking
about dozens or hundreds of deeds, I may not. It's just not practical.
So ... I realize the book is the source when you're dealing with
asbtracts, and what I
Barton,
If I were to use an abstract book I have to admit I would be tempted to make a
single event and then list all of the abstracts in the notes in chronological
order. In the source for that event I would cite the book and then for the
page numbers I would put something like this,

Jumping in here, here are some thoughts on why you would record each
deed separately and how I would record other events:
1. Recording each deed separately adds to the chronology of the person
and lets you see that not all their land was acquired at the same time.
In a way it shows the growth in
We all have an aunt or a grandmother that has a shoebox full of obituaries,
funeral cards, or other old documents that sit on a dresser or closet
shelf. Or, perhaps we are that person with the shoebox. These beginning
genealogy sessions will show how to take what you know and what you have
access
Brian, Cathy, et al,
This has been an interesting discussion. Why this discussion is most
interesting is how you relate this to how the events are recorded in Legacy.
Brian, having looked at many English parish records, I can agree with
Cathy that Baptism and Christening are used more or less
For me it lets me see everything recorded without having to select
different tabs. Details, text and comments are all visible in the

John,
You say ...*most could agree that the Custom Event should be used when*
*the person is, say, over 10, as that Baptism is not indicative of
theperson's birth date. *
I disagree. Why a Custom Event? Why not just use the existing Baptism event?
Since a Christening implies naming an infant
Thanks, Brian. My practice has been to enter censuses as a source
within the birth' field, but it occured to me it could also fall under
residence.

Larry,
Yes, you are misunderstanding my comment.
The Baptism custom event is already part of the default event list, I
believe. I was trying to illustrate when that event could be used.
My reasoning for this is that there is a lot in Legacy that makes
assumptions that the Baptism Vital Event is
Let's put on our 19th Century thinking caps a minute. There was no
difference in most people's understanding of what we call 'baptism by
sprinkling' as it was performed by the church. Whether it was
'Christening' or 'Baptism' the event was pretty much the same -
preformed by the church and

Agreed! They even asked me what bugs I have encountered. It is unbelievable how

Every time they fix one, it seems they create another. We don't know what will
get fixed and what will then not work as a result. So sad.

One event or multiple? Census as event or Residence?
For the Chronology you want the Events separate, but as Barton says, the
report can get a bit monotonous.
The solution I think is to have two different events: eg Land and Land

So, do privacy brackets prevent the comments or text from appearing in the
GEDCOM? That seems to be the problem; the privacy brackets don't work.
The bug is that the parameters one sets are not recognized by the Legacy
program when it creates the GEDCOM.

Bob,
Some interesting ideas.
1/ On the Individual Info page and maybe other
places Given Name is used the term should be
changed to Given Names. By being plural, it
will be both clearer and more correct (usually).
2/ Your idea about adding a private note to the a
surname or given names field is
Thanks, Michele. I was not thinking about deeds being for other than
land but knew that. Presumably, the event for land is used in Legacy
where there is not another land-related event that replicates it (a
separate event for warrant, a separate one for patent, etc.). I guess I
need to check all
