Steve Albin Posted 4 September , 2005 Share Posted 4 September , 2005 Hi Folks, After nearly 20 years of research I have tracked my ggg from cradle to grave. Just about his entire NAVAL career was sent to me from TNA/Kew plus I have used various other areas of research including private researchers.The amount of info I have on him is staggering. He served on 14 ships from 1806 as a 13 year old boy,became a Master RN in 1827 until his death in 1852.My ggg grandfather was stationed at Chatham,Kent. He was at Martinique and Guadaloupe. So.I would like to know are there any forums which I could discuss in detail about his career.The hand written pages from TNA/Kew are inexcellent order and gives an insight into the MAN himself. Kind Regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Roberts Posted 4 September , 2005 Share Posted 4 September , 2005 Steve Try this one: http://www.cronab.demon.co.uk/marit.htm (I've never worked out how to do hyperlinks so you will have to type it out or copy and paste) They have the url of a forum that might be of use to you; otherwise they publish people's articles on their site (they won't pay you but you do retain copyright) and they might be interested in your work. Tell me if you have any success; it sounds fascinating. Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Roberts Posted 4 September , 2005 Share Posted 4 September , 2005 Steve PS to the above - the url seems to have come out as a hyperlink, so maybe I've just discovered the method! Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historydavid Posted 5 September , 2005 Share Posted 5 September , 2005 Steve, Not sure if you are interested, but www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/royal.htm will have some info on the ships your ggg served on. Best wishes David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Albin Posted 6 September , 2005 Author Share Posted 6 September , 2005 Thanks to David and Adrian. I have looked at these sites but so far there are no sites that are as good as RootsChat or this site. Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
