There is a 'populace' badge for the Barony, it's a black halberd on a 
gold field with a gold Ansteorran star in the blade. Unfortunately, 
there's no artwork on the website to show what it looks like.

Also, you can usually get a 'hospital bracelet' at gate for your young 
one to wear on their arm, and have required info written upon it. During 
a week-long event they can get pretty worn out, but you might be able to 
get a spare just in case.

Lastly, everyone at GW gets a medallion with a 'serial number' on it, 
including the kids. If your kid is wearing hers and gets separated from 
you, she can go to the Watch and they can find you.

If you haven't read the site rules yet, be aware; children 12 and under 
are required to be in the custody of a parent or teenager at all times. 
So, if you're fighting you'll need someone else to watch your daughter. 
One adult/teen can watch several youngsters, but each youngster has to 
be watched by a specific resposible party at all times. With thousands 
on site, they're pretty strict about this.
