>From today's Irish Genealogy News: Volunteers transcribe 1915 Merchant Navy Crew Lists A brand new website launched last week that will be of interest to those whose ancestors were sailors and worked in the Merchant Navy. The site - 1915CrewLists.rmg.co.uk - holds indexed transcriptions of crew lists and agreements from the British Merchant Navy for 1915, the year after WW1 had started. It's free to access, holds details of several thousand men born in Ireland, and has been placed online with the co-operation of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London. The transription and indexing work was carried out by volunteers. Crew Lists were written up by the ship's masters at the end of each trip. Only the voyages that ended in 1915 are included in this collection. More at http://www.irishgenealogynews.com/2015/07/volunteer-project-results-in-1915. html Given the number of Beara men who served in the Merchant Navy, I suspect this will prove useful to more than a few of us.
