Has anyone any experience with Mocavo? Also in city directories after some names they have "lab", what does it mean? I probably should know but I guess I'm having a senior moment. Thanks in advance for the help. NT jcntsmith@aol.com
So far the only thing I've found on Mocavo are the multitude of posts that I've put online about my ancestors. My ancestors do have very common English names, though. There's a gentleman in my genealogy society who says he's had a lot of success using Mocavo. I should say that there is a paid version of Mocavo, but I've only tried the free site. And I agree with Martha - LAB = laborer.

Hey, thanks. I wasn't using Mocavo, never have, but I did find someone listed as "lab" in a city directory and was wondering what it meant. "Laborer" seems very likely. Alexa Genealogy research since 1974 Ancestral hauntings - I ain't afraid-a no ghosts...
I believe that it means laborer. Many citie directories listed a person occupation after their name.

Though my Dictionary search for English, French, and Spanish did not yield a meaning, my Google search says there is a www.*mocavo*.com, and it is a new genealogy site. Voila. Who knows.

"Lab" refers to laborer. Many people would do several jobs (seasonal or otherwise) as the demand existed. -----Original Message----- From: laorlean-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:laorlean-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of jcntsmith@aol.com Sent: Monday, June 25, 2012 10:47 AM To: laorlean@rootsweb.com Subject: [LAORLEAN] Mocavo Has anyone any experience with Mocavo?
