    1. [CHS] Occupation humour

    3. Years ago before all the censuses were online I was looking up an ancestor on fiche in the local library . When I found him he was listed on the fiche as a "Public Nuisance" ... obviously one of my family!. Noticing a + sign at the end of the line I asked the librarian what it meant and she explained that the + sign meant that there was more information about his occupation on the original because the text fields on the fiche were limited in size. So I looked at the microfilm version and, sure enough, it said "Public Nuisance and Sanitation Worker". Eric Millward ----- No virus found in this message.
