About

I began looking into my family history in December 2016. Using only online research tools, before long I had a list of over 300 names, many of which had associated official documents, images and press clippings. It was unmanageable and reliant on a subscription genealogy service which I have no wish to continue paying for, and so I began this site.

Until very recently I had only a vague idea that my grandfather’s family had gone to sea. Now, thanks to the magic of our digital age, I know things about some of them that even their wives didn’t know when they were alive!
