Our Father's Father and Beyond

Happy Father's Day to all the Father's out there! 

Yesterday I wrote a post where I participated in Gene-Musings' Saturday Night Genealogy Fun that was about our fathers and their occupation. 

With this post, I decided to go a bit further, writing down my male line and their occupations in comparison 💙
