Dear All
I am new on your list and like to introduce myself.
My name is Han Wijtzes, I live in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands
I like to trace my family in the UK.
The Brother of my grand father was a sailor named PIETER WIJTZES, born in The Netherlands
on April-4-1862
This Pieter went to Liverpool after June-22-1886
He married in Liverpool with MARY REARDON who died in Liverpool on April-24-1913
Pieter sailed two times from Barry to New York in 1918.
He gave as residence Barry, Wales.
The ships he sailed on were called Philadelphia and Monitowoc.
In 1919 he sailed with the ship Alban and in 1920 with the Royal George to New York,
probably from Barry as wel.
He some times spelled his Christian name as PETER and his surname as WYTZES.
Does anyone know how to gather information about Pieter and the ships he sailed on.
I would be very grateful for any info you are able to send.
Kind Regards
Han Wijtzes
