searching for information regarding: William Andrew PERKINS b Feb 9, 1851 IA son of James H. PERKINS & Mary Elizabeth WOODY m Julia CORNAZ (b Apr 24, 1859 Marshalltown, Marsh., IA) d Sept 12, 1907 Yreka, Sisky., CA their son Richard Silas PERKINS b Nov 1887 Chico, CA William was a sea captain, who alledgedly crossed the oceans many times during his career. I am particularly interested in any information concerning his life as a captain, routes, etc. Also, if anyone has any idea how I may obtain information on his voyages I would greatly appreciate it. I am unaware of the resources which may be available, such as manifests and ships logs etc, for the late 1800's. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
