Topic Talk – Maritime Research

Merchant marine grandfather?  Immigrant great-grandmother born on the seas?  A family of sail makers?  WWII uncle shipwrecked in the Pacific?  Mother swim the English Channel on a dare?  Submarine design engineers, anyone?  What role do the wet parts of the globe play in your family research?  River talk welcome.  Bring a towel and stay dry as we lounge on land to discuss.  (Or dogpaddle, if you must, but don’t blame swimming in genealogy for the wrinkled skin.)
