-	~~<br>~~	+	Q: I am seeing some records that seem to indicate one person did multiple jobs. Should only the first job be listed or should a second record be created to reflect the second job with the name re-entered? I am also seeing "G. City" in the occupation area. Is that a location notation and thus ignored?
