September 2016 ISGS Webinar - Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker: Using Occupational Records
Title: Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker: Using Occupational Records
Date: Tuesday, September 13, 2016, 8:00 pm Central
Description: Our ancestors’ occupations are a way of identifying them. Exploring records created about occupation and employment can yield specific information about the ancestor, help place the ancestor in historical and social context, and spark ideas for further research.
Presenter: Amy Johnson Crow, CG
