    Default Help please

    I have a marriage certificate for my 2nd great grandfather. He was a shoemaker, as were others associated with the family. His father's profession is recorded as what looks like Goal Moler. Is there any name/term in shoemaking that would be anything like this?

    Kind regards, Mike

    Mike,

    Have you contacted https://www. cordwainers.org/history.aspx for advice?

    Hello Mike and welcome to the forum

    One possibility that springs to mind just on the basis of the shape of the letters - but nothing to do with shoemaking! -
    is Coal Meter. (You could perhaps post an image of the part of the certificate that shows the occupation, in case our handwriting experts can make anything of it.)

    Hi, Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, it does not seem I can paste a copy into this message. I've tried a few times in different formats.

    I checked the FAQs and I cannot see a Manage Attachments button.

    I'm not sure that there is a way to attach images directly to posts, but you can upload them to another website (such as Photobucket: see the instructions here) and then post a link on this thread.
