On my dad's side, they died during an ethnic cleansing blood bath at the end of WW2, so I never met them. From what I understand, they were subsistence farmers and didn't have professions. Farmed during the summer, then fished and made liquor in the winter to sell at local markets.

On my mother's side, my grandfather had a small mechanic business. My grandmother was a home maker and made/sold hats and costume jewelry on the side. Both served during WW2 as medics though. I found out fairly recently that my grandfather owned a small movie theatre business at one point and ran illegal gambling in the basement. At least that is what my older sister told me. I was pretty surprised because no one ever talked about it or mentioned it to me growing up.
