Edgar when I needed information on the ship that my forefathers crossed the Atlantic on I joined the "TheShipsList" mailing list here on Rootsweb and posted my query on there. I had no idea of either the name of the ship or the date it sailed and yet the same day that I posted my inquiry I had not only the name of the ship but all the details of it and the passenger list with my family clearly showing...They are truly miracle workers so I would suggest that you try them for your answers. Judi McRae Tacoma WA You said on the Eng-Buckinghamshire List on 24 Feb 2005: Does anyone know where I could find a passenger list for english ship that sank in 1882? The ship was called the RMS Duoro and was discovered about 1982. It was carrying a good amount of gold coins, dust, bars and diamonds. My g-grandfather is said to have been a passenger on this ship. I'm looking to confirm this. Any help would be appreciated.

Sifting through information purchased from Bucks FHS, I'm curious as to some of the occupations listed. I believe they would be to do with shoemaking but can anyone tell me please what is a 'laster' or a 'liftmaker'? And what exactly is a 'scavenger'? Also I'm noticing the names DIX and GILMAN cropping up frequently in my KITCHENER research, sometimes used as christian names. If anyone researching these names has any KITCHENERs I would love to hear from you. TIA Jane Savile (Suffolk, UK)
