Calling All Weavers, Coopers, Vampers and Wheelwrights: Let’s Explore Your Ancestor’s Occupation

Exploring your ancestor’s occupation can give you great insights into their daily existence, but how do we go beyond the standard vital records, census records and city directories? Join us to explore and unearth occupational information through local histories, trade publications, old town maps, federal programs, surnames and more.
