Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 14 Send Message	Can anyone tell me where I would find info about ships crews from around 1910-1920. I have failed to find my relative on passenger lists leaving the U.K. so want to try crew lists. Elizabeth

	I think that would be a difficult task Elizabeth, they probably wont have lists on the net, and there were thousands of ships/boats - you could try the National Archives for the Seamans register.

	The Ellis Island site has names of crew members as well as passengers. You have to register for the site but it's free. http://www.ellisisland.org/
	Researching: Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

	The only other thing is, if you can get someone on ancestry.com to check out immigration as I know OH's grandfather appears on those lists even though he was a crew member.
