Hello, Thanks for your reply, yes I did realise that ,and have been on various sites entering his name Leonard Train, the 1901 cenus said he came from Portland Oregon, he then stayed here and raised a family, I have tried various (including Ancstory and many others) to find his past but without success, I thought as he was a seaman there maybe naval records, but where do you get those from...more questions than answers. |

My great grandfather was born in Portland USA and according to his marriage certificate he was a seaman on the Osceola docked at the Bute Docks Cardiff in the late 1870's, I can't find any information on him on any census lists American or others ,is it possible to get infomation from any other sources, ie. naval records I have been trying for several years to find anthing and am on the verge of giving up. A help from anyone would be very grateful Thanks |
