O.K. Listers, Here are the publication details. I have been holding off putting up some of the info as I had hoped to copy the introduction but alas there is security on the file which prevents me copying ANY text. This means I can't copy a few lines and send them to people with multiple entries for an ancestor, or with ancestors with common names. While I endores the author's right to do this as they want to encourage purchase of the CD it certainly is frustrating. Produced by: S&N Genealogy Supplies 2002 and the CLIP project. S&N Genealogy supplies Tel/Fax 01722 716121 (English number?) www.GenealogySupplies.com Records "have been drawn from Crew Lists, Crew Agreements and Log Books for the period 1863-1913 held in local record office (ROs)in the British Isles and at the Public Record Office (PRO) Kew." The records include ID numbers which refer users to the original record held in English Record offices. The CD also refers to "Records of Merchant Shipping and Seamen", by Smith, Watts, and Watts, produced by PRO (England) (ISBN 1 873 162 49 9) for further details and info on other periods. Sorry folks but that's all that is on the CD. Don't be disheartened if you think it is all English born men. There are lots of Swedes and Australians. -- best wishes, Jenny
