Occupation Interests / Krooman
« on: Friday 14 December 07 08:03 GMT (UK) »
I would be interested to hear from anyone with an ancestor whose occupation is described as 'Krooman' on census or other records.
Incidentally, this is not a misspelling of 'crew man' (although this group of people were mariners): the word originates in the West African tribe, the Krao or Kraoh. It is also found as 'Kruman'.
