Amazing
I allways read with much amazement how perfect you ALL are in replying to our shipmates enquiries about lost relatives and colleages, all credit to you ..
In reading these posts I wonder if you may be able to answer me the following in purely general terms?
Frinstance my first trip was from Grain on 5th December 1956 in British Crown. If I had a mind to and enough time /money would it be possible to get a list of the crew members (50say)and perhaps their addresess at that time to try to find one lost good friend?
Further prior to this particular adventure I was entertained at Captain McKellars establishment at Gravesend as this is the 1st entry in my book are/were there any records of time spent there. I am a member of the assn but I cannot remember it ever being mentioned.Warm Regards, Alan .

Just a quick hello
Hello and welcome,
Would imagine all best advice etc will be forthcoming.
Just wondered if it is not to personal etc, that you may post the name of the person sought, many look in apart from members and may know of him and pass on, he possibly could look in searching also?
All the best in your quest.
Regards,
Keith.
