Subject: [VA-ROOTS] Strange Louisiana census entry
The 1900 census from Acadia Parish, LA lists a 76 year old widower whose occupation reads "(Infidel)" [parentheses are in the original]. Census docs from 1860 and 1870 describe him as a "farmer." Is this a religious comment or an obsolete occupation?
