M.S. stands for "Marital Status". The variable can take the following
values:

c = single m = married v = widow or widower s = separated
Good luck

Subject: [Q-R] PRDH Question


Would some kind soul be able to tell me how to read the the certificates in
the PRDH database. For instance:
Mariage Certificate No. 344417
L'Île-Dupas 1790-02-15
Rank Name Age M.S. Pr. Sex

01 JULIEN RIVARD --- c p m
02 GENEVIEVE RIVARD --- c p f
03 JULIEN RIVARD --- --- --- m
FATHER OF 01
04 MARIE ANNE LACERTE --- --- --- f
MOTHER OF 01
05 ALEXIS RIVARD --- --- --- m
FATHER OF 02
06 DUTEAU --- --- d f
MOTHER OF 02
•DISPENSE DU 4E DEGRE DE CONSANGUINITE

Rank is understandable. Age is self-explanatory. What does M.S. stand for?
Is Pr. Presence? With p meaning present and d meaning deceased? Sex is self
explanatory. And as a last question, what does DISPENSE DU 4E DEGRE DE
CONSANGUINITE mean? Dispensation of 4E? Degree of Consanguinity. Were they
4th cousins?
