Hello!
Hi
just a quick introduction, I am researching my Family Tree and have found an Uncle who was lost at Sea serving with the Merchant Navy. I am trying to fing information re the actual Ship he was serving on. Will post another message re this and see what response I get.
I am currently living in Alberta Canada many many miles from the Sea, but lived and was brought up in Jarrow in the North East of England, my Father was a Shipwright and shipbuilding was the main work for many of my relatives.
