This is just my opinion. You are right, it isn't an occupation so I wouldn't record it as an occupation event. I would probably just put it in the notes. If I wanted to get this on his timeline, you could do a residence event and then add "John Doe was listed as a pauper on his daughter Jane Doe baptismal record."
Michele -----Original Message----- From: Anne [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 04, 2013 2:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Pauper ancestor I have an ancestor who married in 1777 and had 10 children between 1778 and 1795. On only one baptism record (dated 1785) he was described as a pauper. This is obviously not an occupation (they are not recorded on the baptism register) so what is the best way of recording this information please?
