SacPubLib: What Did Daddy Do? Locating Family Members in Old Business Records, Part 1 (Speaker)
1:00 pm to 2:30 pm Virtual via Zoom
Sacramento Public Library presents What Did Daddy Do? Locating Family Members in Old Business Records, Part 1, with speaker Madeline Yanov.
It is estimated that we spend about 1/3 of our adult lives at work. That was also true for our ancestors who might have spent more time at their job. Whether your ancestor worked as a factory worker on a Ford assembly plant or a farmer, miner, or owned a store, there are documents recording that information. Did your family own their own business? Records exist for those businesses. This presentation will delve into the types of records available for many occupations. We will look at corporate, agricultural, and small business records; ranging from incorporation papers, licenses and permits, to newspaper articles, advertisements, directories, and personal papers. Tips will be given to how to go about finding information on corporations, professional certifications and where these records are kept. Business records can add another dimension to the story of your ancestors’ lives!
