Can anyone help Verity please? regards Ted From: Verity Jones <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Hi, I have been advised by an enthusiast, Don Hazeldine, to contact you regarding my search for my Great Gt Grandfather _*Captain Auguste Briand*_. All we know from my Gt grandmothers marriage cert is that her father was a Captain Auguste Briand in the Merchant Navy. My grandmother was French, from Normandy, so I am presuming he was in the French Merchant Navy. We wish to find his place of birth and information regarding his voyages etc and hoped to do it through some Merchant Naval records? He would have been born in/around the early/mid 1800’s. We have traced/,/ online, /a/ Captain Briand to the ships MASSILIA, NEUSTRIA AND PATRIA (ALL FABRE LINE). He was captain of these ships during the late 1890’s. Articles in the New York Times have given us these specifics- Capt., Briand- PATRIA- 1898 Capt., Briand- NEUSTRIA-1891,1892,1896,1897 Capt., Briand- MASSILIA-1897 Our first problem lies in that we need to first confirm that this Captain Briand, above, is indeed an AUGUSTE Briand. Secondly, we have another Auguste Briand coming up on an /Ancestry/ website search, linked to the ship La Bourgogne. It is unclear whether he was the Captain as it just lists his name alongside the ship info and image. Name: *Auguste Briand* Arrival Date: 15 Oct 1888 Age: 49 Gender: Male Port of Departure: Le Havre, France Ship route: Havre-NY Port of Arrival: New York, United States Ship Name: La Bourgogne Ship built: 1886 Shipping Line: French Line I can see from your website you have a huge knowledge base regarding ships and crew of this era. If so perhaps you can help? Where might I find archives on crew etc? Do we have to travel to London or is there anything online I have missed? We have been searching for so long now we would be so grateful of any glimmer of information you have! Kind regards, Verity Ellen Jones Wales UK **

Hi, On the Ellis Island site (http://www.ellisisland.org/) are the manifests of the Massilia, Neustria and Patria (1882) for the considered periods (search by ship not by passengers). The master of Neustria and Patria (may be also Massilia) was Constantin Briand (Hippolyto Briand on Massilia ?) not Auguste Briand. The 1888 manifest of La Bourgogne is not reported in the database.
