I have a copy of a letter written by a man we will call John Smith, which doesn't affect the meaning of the acronyms at all.
His letter head states
John Smith, C.E., & Son
D'pl'ee.: S'c., Art, Build.' Constc.', SKL
T.U. - CRAFSTMEN - ERECTORS
It is set out exactly as I have set it out.
C.E is Civil Engineer I am sure as he describes himself as this in one of the census.
Any thoughts on the rest of the titles he has bestowed upon himself. It is quite possible that he made it up, he is turning out to be an inveterate liar.

That sounds good to me Waitabit.
I wonder if the T.U is Trade Union of Craftsmen Erectors and if there is such a thing - can't find anything enlightening using google and what the heck is SKL.
Ah well I can console myself that he is not one of my mob.

Hi Trudy
I haven't found a link to Finland but it could just be a matter of time.
Each census gives different birthplaces for he and his children, including USA and nowhere is there to be found any birth records for same children.
I wouldn't care if he was a full blown rogue but he is just seems to be a bit of a fantasist.

S'c.= science
Build.= buiding
Constr.' = construction
SKL= skill or Suomen Kristillinen Liitto (Finnish Christian League)
We really have some discussions about it.
But what is " & Son" ?

There are a couple of sites you might like to look at:
unionancestors.co.uk
unionhistory.info/links.php
I'll have a quick search on them and see if I can find anything that's relevant.Browneyes
