Hey all, I recently acquired an old birth certificate of a relative, dating back to 1887. I was unsure what the father's occupation said, so I asked Judith to try and tell me what is says - which she very kindly did (a nail caster). What I am not sure of however is what a nail caster in 1887 actually did? Could it be the making of nails? I have uploaded the image to http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/message/an/topics.researchresources.translators/171 if you care to see it for youselves. Any help appreciated, Thanks, Simon _________________________________________________________________ Windows LiveĀ Messenger has arrived.
