I got alot of 'probablies' from some-one without any explanation, so it
just gets on my nerves. I figure if I'm going to use them I should also
leave myself some notes about why I'm saying what I'm saying. I don't
use them myself, although I s'pose I could. It would help to know where
to start looking when I want to get past 'probably'. But then if I was
at that point, and I knew that some-one born before 1620 and living in
Massachusetts was almost for sure (probably) born in England just
because I happened to be carrying around that kind of information in my
head, in between the grocery list and my sisters' birthdays, why would I
need to write it down? Except as notes to my inheritors, but geez, do I
have to do everything for them?

Now that I have Legacy7 up and running, I feel a compulsion to do some file
cleanup but am in a bit of a quandry. May I have some opinions on whether
or not to add estimated locations? I know about various methods for *how*
to do it, but just can't decide *whether* to do it. If I know that, for
example, ancestors were born before 1620 and lived in Massachusetts, it's a
pretty safe bet that they were born in England. By the same token, people
who were born and died in what is now Ontario in the early 1800's were
probably married there. Is anything gained by showing England or Canada
(Upper/Lower, West/East) as *probable* locations or is there a good reason
for just leaving it blank? Thoughts please.
