Re: Will/decree summaries
In Response To: Will/decree summaries ()

in such cases even the raw text is ambiguous - the usual approach I adopt is to quote such phrases - but obviously a summary is of less utility than the whole - I can summarise 100+ wills in time I transcribe 10 and for my own sociodemographic purposes the summary can be searched easily - in some cases I go back and do a full transcription of key sections.
