    Default Hello!

    I found this forum while searching the internet trying to figure out how to read/understand my gg-grandfather's seaman's tickets. (I'm a novice but willing to learn!) If I was more familiar with ship's names, I might be able to figure out some of the handwriting on the tickets I found on FindMyPast---I can make out "Cynthia" (must have been 1853 since his age was 23 at the time). The one thing I know is that with a name like Cunningham Sheppard, the records I found are probably his since the ages/dates/city of birth are right.

    I'm going to read, now. There's a lot of interesting-looking articles/posts so it will take a while!
