* Overseer poor records

[jbrooks]

I have a number of entries in the Overseer of the poor records and was thinking of creating a custom event. I would like to keep these events linked for research purposes and provide a 'picture' of what might have been happening at the time. Any advice on an approach to record this in FH appreciated (would probably like the option later to display this on a diagram/tree to assist research). I would also like to include some narrative about these records.
Sample data with narative included below:

I think what I would be tempted to do, is to create a source for the information you posted and then to create a custom attribute which can be linked to the source. I think I would be tempted to keep the detail in the source and have a single fact against the person concerned which covers the time frame of the entries, but you could of course put the full details in with multiple facts.
