Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 429 Send Message	Every month on our YouTube channel, we will have a theme. March will see us concentrating on Jobs & Service through the ages. We already have a few interviews lined up with a Midwife and a Butcher whose shop has been in the family since 1538. We know that lots of you will have ancestors with interesting occupations, or come from families where trade was passed down from father to son, so now it's your turn to tell us what you want to see. We can research and make an interesting video about any occupation you can think of, so tell us what you would like to know about. From mining, to farming, lawyers and doctors, what should we research next? Reply to this post and let us know. The Genes Team

	As far back as I can go (17th Century) there's always been a seaman in our family. "Sailor" could have been a deck hand or an officer on sailing ships. "Fireman" appeared with the age of steam though my Grandfather was a first officer in sail, then a captain and finally a pilot. MY fatherwas a ship engineer as engine technology advanced in the 20th century and I cut my teeth on fishing trawlers at Iceland as a rdio officer (more new technology) then proceeded to mixed cargo ships (tramp steamers) modern bulk cargo and oil tankers then to Oil Rigs and platforms and finally cable laying ships laying optical fibres. Plenty of scope for your project there! Heave Ho...Malcolm. ;-)
