Any suggestions for what fields to use when setting up a template for citing Wills? I'm not looking to go as deep as in Evidence Explained but something that "fits well" into Reunions' format.

The basic template for Wills in Reunion 14 contains these fields:
Title
File Number
Register
Location of Source.
Following Evidence a bit more closely, but not too deep, I suggest the following:
Author (whose will it is)
Date (date of will)
Date (date will was filed/probated)
Book (will book number)
Volume (will book volume)
Page (will book pages)
Repository (where will was filed)
Address (of repository)
To clarify the use of the fields, consider adding the following labels to the fields in the template:
Author - "Will of "
Date (first occurrence)- "Dated "
Date (second occurrence) - "Probate "
Book - "Will Book "
Volume - "Volume "
Page - "Page "
The resulting citations would look like this:
Will of Sam Jones, Dated 07-Jun-1900, Probate 30-Jun-1900, Will Book G, Volume 7, Page 356, Register of Wills, City Hall Room 180, Philadelphia, PA 19107Last edited by martinr; 14 October 2026, 09:27 AM. -
