Teleconference Seminar Tuesday January 2 at 9 PM EST ===================================================== Finding Mariners, Seafaring Ancestors, Ships and Maritime News with GenealogyBank.com Click here to Register http://ancestralmanor.com/?tabid=127 Jonathan Galli presents this case study as just one example of how to document elusive ancestors for whom the traditional sources are sparse or non-existent. Mariners are particularly problematic to track. Jonathan had been able to find some vital record and probate information for his O'Cain family that immigrated to Connecticut "from the Irish nation" in the 18th century, but the original immigrant's grandson was only found in the 1790 census and then seemed to disappear. With the advent of the internet, Jonathan found other resources that showed that Joseph became a sea captain and was instrumental in altering the entire Pacific coast trade. Through GenealogyBank.com resources, Jonathan was able to track this ancestor and discover many details of this man's life. This particular example, demonstrates the wealth of material at GenealogyBank.com, and illustrates how to customize search techniques and follow the clues to create new searches that leverage the exceptional job that GenealogyBank.com has done in digitizing and indexing antiquarian documents.
