George and Drew discuss how to find out about our ancestors'
occupations. [Note: The correct URL for the USGenWeb page
giving explanations of old occupation names is
http://www.usgenweb.org/research/occupations.shtml]
Drew shares an interview with Maureen Taylor (the Photo Detective)
and David Lambert (of the New England Historic Genealogical
Society) and their project involving photographs of individuals
associated with the American Revolutionary War. For details,
