Hello everyone! I have a couple of weeks off work, so I rejoined the list and am trying to get a little of my genealogy paperwork taken care of. My question is....what is a teamster? Of course, the dictionary says "one who drives a team for hauling cargo". But, this can't be the "end all" to the definition. There has to be more. That definition leads me to believe that it was some horses that were pulling a carriage. So....after cars, there was no more use of the term "teamster"? I thought that the term "teamster" was also used in connection with another, darker <smile> side of life? Mobsters or something? Can anyone enlighten me? TIA! Michelle
