I get the first part that the research can be quite something! So interesting what you write. And as we can see, almost all people worked incredibly hard prior to the life time we now live in, except of course the very wealthy always. My family in Finland survived all those years through the heavy winters, our family land is over 400 years with us, my cousin from the oldest son and family live there. He and his wife continued the dairy farm until they got too old, now they have a farm crop growing and no cows, none of the kids wanted to continue it, he is now 80. In the winter when not as much milk, he would go into the woods of the property and selective log and sell wood.

Great work, thank you so much!

Paula
