Researching Ships and Maritime History in Genealogy

Come join Peter McCracken, his first presentation with our Merrimack Valley Chapter.
 
 "Doing ship research can be tricky, however, especially Ships play a critical role in genealogy, from a tool by which our ancestors emigrated, to places where they worked, served, or played. Vessel research can lead to meaningful insights into the experiences of our ancestors: for example, knowing the history of a naval ship on which an ancestor served, even if the ancestor is not mentioned in that history, can tell us something important about their life experiences. Discovering a journal kept by someone who was on the same immigrant voyage as our ancestor could lead to remarkable insights about our ancestors’ past. Or, adding a picture of the cruise ship our grandparents sailed on during their honeymoon can add a nice touch to a printed family history. when so many vessels share the same name."
