Occupations

Our ancestors held many different jobs, occupations, and positions in society. Some of these required years of training or apprenticeships, others were gained by appointment or elections. Knowing the positions our ancestors held gives us clues to their standing in the community, other people they may have been familiar with, and other records that may help us paint a fuller picture of their lives.
