Getting Started Researching Ancestor’s Occupations

There’s a nice article in this month’s Really Useful Bulletin (no. 56) from the Family History Federation that explains how to research your ancestor’s occupation. Although quite focused on the UK, it does include the use of Irish Trade Directories.

Members can read the Bulletin from our Newsletter section of the Members’ Area. It is also free to read at The Family History Federation’s Explore Your Genealogy site.
