Once more the Lanark list has produced some answers for me. Admittedly I am the absolutely worst researcher, and so it continues to be an eye-opener when someone unearths information for me. Jo Ann Croft found the list of crew members on the USS Ohio, 1907, on which my husband’s father served with Teddy Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet. There was a lot of other interesting information about which countries the ships visited, pictures. etc. Jo Ann could not find anything on Jack Surmann, however, the cousin “Pop” was to supposed to have had a fight with. I did find a contact e-mail address and have written to see if there is a database that can be checked for Jack Surmann. If we can get this fellow where he belongs, then I have another major brick wall to knock down to find out who the parents were of my great-grandfather, William Clint, Kirkcudbrightshire. If his father is the dastardly rascal who seeded a few out of wedlock, then that will surely add to the colour of the family narrative. How anyone is just content with basic stats mystifies me as the hunt for details is what makes genealogy so interesting. Thanks again to Jo Ann for her extra help. Maisie
