Hello,
I've finally come across some definitions of ARTISANS in Poland. After my
grandmother's birth certificate dated 1894, was translated from handwritten
old Cyrillic Russian, by a professional Russian translator via the Polish
Concillate, it was noted that one of the witnesses was an Artisan, and the
transcriber said that this was no longer a profession.
I've located this following information on this type of profession from the
1900's in Gobin, Poland:
a.. Tailors
b.. Cobblers
c.. Hat Makers
d.. Tanners
e.. Furriers
f.. Bakers
g.. Butchers
h.. Fruit Traders
i.. Drying Fruits
j.. Boot Uppers Makers
k.. Musicians
l.. Village Traders
m.. Market Women
n.. Shopkeepers
