My grandfather was a sailor for thirty years (Navy) and a trucker for twenty years...he made the best coffee!

Saskatchewan farmers ...

Factory workers but later in years my grandfather owned his own taxi business.

All of them and their parents also were farmers.

My maternal grandfather worked for the NY Central railroad his whole life, my maternal grandmother was a housewife. My paternal grandfather was career Navy, and his wife was also a housewife.

My Nan & Grandad lived in Stockwell, South East London. Grandad was an electrician and he and one other guy were responsible for switching on the street lights each night and off again the next morning for the whole of South East London. They also looked after some sort of generator for the area and this supplied all local electricity - if neither of them showed up at work, then nobody had any electricity. My Nan didn't have a job as such as she had shit loads of kids. On my Dad's side: Grandad came from quite an affluent family that ran a furniture business. They lived in Battersea, South West London and they were Middle class. My Nan was from a working class family and was 'in service' as a scullery maid to the local gentry. They met, fell in love and married much to the anger of the rest of his family. Eventually the furniture business went bust and that was that.

both grandfathers were farmers and both grandmothers were housewives

Here's what my grandfathers did - http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2233724 My mother's mother was a teacher. My father's mother was a lot of things - See http://www.orangefrogproductions.com/ofp2o_auth_nfts_tributetomamaw.shtml

My mom's mom was some kind of secretary for the state. My mom's dad... I have actually no idea, I never knew him very well. My dad's mom was a cafeteria manager in Charlestown. My dad's dad ran a pool hall, and at some point, a grocery store. Later he worked for Raytheon as an assembler on Patriot missiles.

My Mom's dad was a firefighter My Mom's mom was an accountant My Dad's dad was a baker who owned his own bakery My Dad's mom never worked outside of the home

My mother's father worked in a surgical tool factory. Her mother never had a job outside the home. As far as my father goes... I have no idea. He was an orphan at five so we don't know anything of his birth family. His adoptive father died before I was born, and I lost contact with my dad before I was old enough to care to ask about such things.

All of mine were farmers.

My grandmother on my mother's side was an adman (secretary) for the rotary club and the lions club ( her husband died when my mom and her sister were very small children) she never remarried. My other grandmother never worked outside the home, but my grandfather was from the old country and women did not work. HA She worked harder than anyone I have ever known. My grandfather had a full breakfest on the table at 6 sharp! He came home for lunch everyday at noon and dinner was waiting at 5:15 everyday for almost 70 years. He was a farmer for years, then moved to the city and was a master electriction.

My grandfather's an engineer (on dams), my grandmother used to sell milk.

Primarily farmed, but one grandfather also worked for the railroad and the other for a natural gas company. Small scale farming was not always adequate at that time for supporting large families. It also meant work, work, and more work. Lengthy "vacations" were unknown.

Dad's side: Grandpa - School supervisor; farmer Grandma - quilt maker, also sold pies and other food Mom's side Granddad - farmer Grangran - food service worker (She later married thoroughbred trainer)

My Grandmother on my dads side was an ice cream truck lady apparently....and my grandmother on my moms side is a elementary school lunch aide... i dont know what my grandfathers did.

Honestly i don't. I believe my grandmother was a stay at home mom before she had a massive stroke. And i don't know what my grandpa did

Yes

yeah my grandfather was born in 1898. worked on the roads until the irish 1916 rising then became a soldier. my grandmother was a housemaid. my other grandfather was a chef and granny was a housewife

One grandfather was an electrical engineer. That grandmother had a degree in home economics and was president the local garden club. My other grandfather was a car salesman and later had a Hertz franchise. That grandmother spent 20 years as an aide in a special ed classroom. She was halfway to an education degree (it was a two year degree then), but she had to drop out and raise her younger siblings when their mother died in childbirth. Of my greatgrandparents, I know one was a farmhand and sometime employee of the Reading Railroad. That grandmother was a SAHM and they had eight kids, six of which survived. One was in the Navy and served on the Great White Fleet. When he returned, he worked in a local factory firing and maintaining the boilers that powered the plant. That grandmother was also a housewife. The had five, all of whom survived. I don't know the other side of the family. I know one great-grandfather was a talented furniture maker as a hobby.

Yes, my mother's father worked on trains and my father's father was in ironworks

Maternal Grandmother...Homemaker...six children Paternal Grandmother...Homemaker...six children Maternal Grandfather...Excellent Carpenter Paternal Grandfather...Railroad worker...crushed and lost both legs while uncoupling two freight cars. Survived only a brief period. As soon as capable, children went out and worked to earn any type of honest money in order to support the entire family. Somehow, the family did just fine. There was no "welfare"...but if there were, my family would not have accepted it anyway. I think we're genetically geared to be excessively prideful "hardheads". :-) All good and loving people, as were my Mom and Dad. All, including my beloved Sister, have gone to Heaven, now. [Will be seein' ya soon, guys.]

My grandfather on my fathers side was a full colonel in the Polish Army! On my mothers side he was an electrician!

they're all eating worms at the moment!

Maternal grandfather - Iowa dirt farmer Maternal grandmother - homemaker, 14 children including twins which died at birth) Paternal grandfather - Iowa dirt farmer Paternal grandmother - homemaker, 13 children All the above were of German extraction and it is quite evident that they knew NOTHING about birth control.

Yup, my grandfather was a commercial artist. He painted billboards, back when they were still painted by hand.

My father's parents were farmers. My maternal grandpa was in the Indian Military Service and grandma was a teacher.

One grandfather worked for the railroad and the other was a Catholic School Janitor and drove a bus. My grandmothers worked at home. Although, one grandma did work at Montgomery Ward for a short time.

My grandfather was the CEO of Flint Inc

I think one grandfather worked for a railroad company. The other was a police officer and worked at a water works in Maine. One grandmother was a musician. The other worked in a factory.

My grandma was a Madame in Deadwood, SD. Grandpa was a bouncer in Saloon #10.

Yes I do My Grandfather was a Military man and My Maternal Grandmother was a Nurse. The then took over the family farm. My Paternal Grandparents I know very little about .

Yes Paternal Grandfather - Worked worked for the Wilson Condensed Milk plant in Sheridan for a number of years, then for Kraft Food (mechanical engineering) until they wanted him to move to their Germany plant. See he had a young family in Sheridan, Indiana. He quit them, and started his own Electric and Appliance repair company. He was also a member, then Chief of the Sheridan Volunteer Fire Department. Paternal Grandmother - See this for my grandmother - http://www.orangefrogproductions.com/ofp2o_auth_nfts_tributetomamaw.shtml . Maternal Grandfather - He was a teacher, football coach, and principal of schools in Muskingum County, Ohio. Then he worked for Biddle Screw and Fastener company, and followed them from Ohio to Sheridan, where my Mom met my Dad - Next-door neighbors. After a few years, they moved back to Ohio, where he became a shop teacher, I believe, until he retired. He still dabbled in woodworking, rebuilding a house and adding on, for them to live in, and rent an apartment in. They later moved to Lafayette, where my parents and siblings lived. Maternal Grandmother - She was a teacher, both in schools in Muskingum County, OH, and in Sheridan, Indiana. Actually, she was a teacher in a school my grandfather was either a teacher or principal, and that's how they met. ;-)
