In honor of Labor Day, take a look at some occupations of your ancestors and learn more about the impact your ancestors’ work might have had on their lives. Learn more about how to do this by reading Celebrate Ancestral Occupations, by Paula Stuart-Warren. And don’t forget to make a record of more contemporary occupations too. Start with your own and include your resume in your family history. Future generations will want to know more about the jobs you’ve held too!
