What Occupation Did Your Ancestor Have?

Cedar Kedar

Have you ever wondered what sort of work your ancestors were employed in?

Were they farmers? miners? steel workers? clerks? boot makers or clog makers? Or were they teachers or pastors? Were they shop keepers or merchants, mill workers or knitters?

The challenge is to find out what your ancestors did by looking at old census, baptism, and marriage records.

Please let us know what your ancestors did. Do those occupations still exist or have they disappeared due a decline in the need or changes in work practices and manufacturing?
