On my mother's side, my Grandpa was a farmer. He was born in Copenhagen and fled Denmark during WW2 when he was in his early 20s with his brother after their parents were killed. He'll never talk about it, not even my mom knows the story. They came to Canada and eventually settled in SE Alberta and farms there to this day.
My grandmother was born in AB, was a driving instructor, then a stay at home farm wife
On my dads side, both grandparents were born in Saskatchewan. My grandma was a housewife with 5 kids, and my grandfather worked for Weatherford for 50 years, I'm not exactly sure what he did, but it's interesting when I go and work in towns in northenr AB and decades before he was in the same towns
