Where Did Grandpa Work? Researching an Ancestor's Career
Saturday, 10 May 2014, 8:00 a.m., S402
We may or may not know what many of our ancestors did for a living and where they may have worked. In the session titled “Where Did Grandpa Work?” we will be exploring methods that may help us in garnering such knowledge. Where this type of information may be found will be the primary purpose of this presentation. In some instances the success may be minimal but in other cases we may be surprised at what we might find. Many ancestors worked as farmers, of course, but with the advent of the Industrial Revolution fewer folks were staying on the farm and more were going into industry. Some occupations have greatly changed to coincide with our times. Others have simply vanished.
There are a multitude of places to search. We will look at both online and printed sources to aid us in our quest. See you at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 10, 2014, Session 402.
