Personnel

Personnel should not be linked to a county.

  • officials should be linked to a more specific organization. For example, a sheriff should be linked to a shrievalty.
  • residents should be linked to an address or to a parish or lower area. If the only residence known is a county, this should not be recorded as it's too vague to be useful.
