The groom(s) (or stableman) usually clean stables (mucking-out), feed, exercise and groom horses. - Giliane -----Original Message----- From: alsace-lorraine-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:alsace-lorraine-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Dave Francis Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 11:25 AM To: alsace-lorraine@rootsweb.com Subject: [A-L] Another French Occupation Does anyone know what a palfrenier is? My dictionary defines it as a groom, but in this death record I'm looking at, it's used as a profession. I've looked on-line and it appears to has something to do with horses.
