    To bw honest, no clue, both my parents didn’t have dirt floors and they were born in '43 and '48. Maybe my grandparents, but I can’t check anymore, as all family members at my mother’s side are dead, as well as the oldest ones at my father’s side. (Including both my parents)

    I guess dirt floors were for the very poor pre WW2 in the Netherlands.

      This has to be a Yank centric question. Very few places in Europe in the last 120 years would have had dirt floors unless they were very poor and rural.
