My first message prompted Bryan Richards to also point me in the direction
of his own 'Swansea Mariners' site, I hope he doesn't mind me repeating his
description below;
<I agree with your comments regarding the excellent welshmariners and
angelfire websites.
If you want to find ratings 1891-1894. like un-certificated Officers,
bosun, able seaman, ordinary seaman, boy, cook, steward, etc.in Glamorgan
Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Cardiganshire, or from around the world. try
my website
http://www.swanseamariners.org.uk
Almost 9,000 detailed entries growing by a few hundred each week,now started
the 1861-1865 period. Will also shortly add a list pressed men for abt 1650
for South Wales and West of England.
Thanks Bryan, nice site, I've also made suitable entries on Genuki and the
LE pages.
PS.
To deflect any accusation of Swansea/Cardiff bias, don't forget TCM's
Bristol Channel Pilots' site !

Subject: [GLA] Merchant Navy research - cross posting
The latest edition of Family Tree Magazine (UK) has an useful
looking
article on researching Merchant Navy ancestors.
Loads of links and advice, including details of the great sites run by Reg
Davies and Bob Sanders of these lists.
