What Fact Type do people use?

I have simply recorded such information within the Prefix/Title or Suffix to the name of the individual within GenoPro rather than create a custom fact.
Further description/explanation is then added as a comment, if needed.

Perhaps I have been rather lazy but with only a few instances I have not felt that I needed to do more.

 

I don't have any honoured people in my tree but my husband has, and he has likewise created a custom Fact called Honours.

 

I am not sure but I think there is a standard gedcom fact for 'Nobility Title' although I usually use the Prefix or Suffix to display the honour with their name and the fact is used for information such as data and place awarded and the reason for the honour. I also create a lot of custom facts for odd entries like Tax for any taxation records etc. Last week I proved a bigamous marriage and created a fact for it, it makes it easier to find in the future.

 

A possible drawback to showing the honour as a prefix or suffix to the person's name is that it is then attached to them across their whole life and may therefore show up inappropriately in certain reports. Also, for a married woman, the honour will then be showing against her maiden name but may not have been received until after she had married.
