According to Webster an heirloom is "A piece of property that descends to the heir as an inseparable part of an inheritance or Something of special value handed on from one generation to another." People love to research the past but sometimes they do little to protect the pieces of family life they find for the future.

There is no "official" option or tool that I am aware of, that provides a reusable template within the Book feature of FTM. However there is a work-around that comes to mind.

Each bond was consulted in order to verify the names of the future husband and wife and the date of the bond. Many indexes exist for Catholic marriages that took place in Quebec and in Ontario. It is more difficult to trace a marriage that took place in a Protestant church. Marriage bonds were prepared only for Protestant marriages by licence. The groom was required to enter into a bond with one or two people (sureties) who knew him and who were prepared to guarantee to the Crown that no legal impediment to the marriage existed. After obtaining the bond, a licence was issued and the marriage took place a few days later.

Includes information and index to husbands of Filles du Roi. More information: http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/quebec/resources/602022.htm BOOK - Before The King's Daughters: The Filles a Marier, 1634-1662 by: Peter J. Gagn�. Before the state-sponsored immigration program that sent nearly 800 women known as Filles du Roi to Qu�bec, 262 brave and adventurous women made the journey to New France on their own. Sent by relatives and religious organizations or enlisting on their own account, these women did not benefit from a paid passage and dowry drawn from the King's treasury, but they did face the same if not worse hardships and dangers. Known as the Filles � Marier or "marriageable girls," they were the first single women to set foot in the colony since its return from the English in 1632.
