    3. Good Morning Donna and other Good Folk, Do you know if your WEAVERs were ever weavers or tailors? Folks in days gone by seemed to be multi-occupational, trying their hand at one thing then another. Quite often, though primarily farmers, families developed many skills in order to help one another. One such ancestral family of mine had sons who were also the blacksmith, the cooper, the wheelwright, and to fit in the new "son-in-law" became a "buggy stripper". Thanks for the post!!
