Please list the name, County, State, E.D. and page for the person you
want us to tell you about. It is just possible that you may have miss
read the census takers handwriting.

head of house hold.

To help you answer the question people need to see the original image.

Without seeing the image I would guess that the "P" is an "S" and the person
named is a Supervisor or Superintendent responsible for the house.

Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. Could not get the film reader to
make a print out. So I got several other people to look at it. It turns out that
Lin_in_Calgary was correct. It is Chaperon. We found a place where the census
taker wrote it again and it was more clear and not written over.

Thanks to everyone for your replies.

I have to say I liked Puperepon better.

Since I guessed it was a "Supervisor" or "Superintendent" responsible, what
exactly would a house Chaperon be?

which is why we wanted to look at the image and compare other examples
of the handwriting

if you post the source citation reference you put in your notes to each
entry in your tree that will do just as well

eg in 1910

Lewis H Lapham Antonette Manhattan Ward 19, New York, NY abt
1858 New York Head

Source Citation: Year: 1910; Census Place: Manhattan Ward 19, New York,
New York; Roll: T624_1043; Page: 2B; Enumeration District: 1181; Image: 614.

then anyone can find your ancestor

at a library
http://content.ancestrylibrary.com/Brow ... +19.1181.4

a mega rich family with 6 servants and a govereness, all from Sweden, to

there could still be talk of a chaperon in the 1950ies

I know what a chaperon is. The question is still what exactly would a "house
Chaperon" be. Google only returns 23 results for "house Chaperon", so the
phrase is not in common usage today. What type of housing is it that needed
a "house Chaperon"? Did the term only apply to a college dorm or
fraternity/sorority house? Is "house Chaperon" a regional expression that
elsewhere would be called a "Supervisor" or "Superintendent" or "Resident
Advisor"?

If the answer was readily available I would not be asking for an
explanation. I also wonder if it was one of those bored census takers that
used a $100 expression when a $1 one would have served the purpose and been
perfectly clear as to meaning.

[Laurie S]

Unfortunately house Chaperon isn't listed but here's a couple links to
some occupations of the past.
http://www.rootsweb.com/~fltgs/occupations.htm
http://home.earthlink.net/~herblst/occupations.htm

I did find this:
TITLE(s): RESIDENCE SUPERVISOR (any industry) alternate titles: adviser;
chaperon; cottage parent;

house manager Coordinates variety of activities for residents of
boarding school, college fraternity or sorority house, care and
treatment institution, children's home, or similar establishment: Orders
supplies and determines need for maintenance, repairs, and furnishings.
Assigns rooms, assists in planning recreational activities, and
supervises work and study programs. Counsels residents in identifying
and resolving social or other problems. Compiles records of daily
activities of residents. Chaperones group-sponsored trips and social
functions. Ascertains need for and secures services of physician.
Answers telephone and sorts and distributes mail. May escort individuals
on trips outside establishment for shopping or to obtain medical or
dental services. May hire and supervise activities of housekeeping
personnel. May plan menus.

Thank you very much. That is exactly the type of detailed explanation I was
looking for. I should have thought to look for a list of occupations.

For me, calling the head of houshold in this situation a "Residence
Supervisor" is much clearer and more meaningful than "chaperon". Never heard
of a "cottage parent" before.

A House Chaperon is hired as the chaperon of all the female
residents of a specific dorm/sorority/residence
hall/boarding house/whatever. She is NOT just Miss
Whoozit's chaperon, she is the chaperon for all females
living in the house. This spreads respectability with a
minimum financial outlay on the part of any individual
female's family.

She does not supervise or advise; she is simply present as a
sop to the pre-21st century proprieties.

If the answer was readily available I would not be asking for an
explanation. I also wonder if it was one of those bored census takers that
used a $100 expression when a $1 one would have served the purpose and been
perfectly clear as to meaning.

It _is_ perfectly clear in meaning. I don't see how it
could get any blunter.
