----- I think the professer is not trying to put down the board bangers .
But rather trying to make apoint How to tell the difference from the
occupation Carpenter ,who prob took on the surname when it was mandatory to
have a surname ,compaired to those other carpenters we seek.I myself find it
fustrating try to research a carpenter line to go back and find them a
Zimmerman. Too bad they would not able to keep there name must have been
rough on the kids all of a sudden your a carpenter and no longer a zimmerman
