I came across this as I was trying to research what a 'Countryman' actually translates to in modern vernacular. My grandfather's occupation was listed as such on a 1907 manifest of the SS Florida. Any ideas? Greatly appreciated

ReplyDeleteHi Maria, thanks for stopping by.
My impression is that "countryman" was a catch-all phrase for anyone who worked the land or did not otherwise have a specific trade (blacksmith, sculptor, shoe maker, etc.)
