In perusing some old Jersey City Directories, from the 1880-1900 period, I have come across several relatives listed as "clerks" and "inspectors." Can anyone tell me what these job titles might have entailed during that period? On another note, I will be temporarily unsubscribing from this list as I am going on a two week vacation and do not want to come home to several thousand unread e-mails! So if you are going to answer this message, please do it today or send it to my personal address below and not to the list.
